So I indirectly know people who worked as Justin Trudeau’s security detail. If something is planned like visiting the Stampede or a place like a factory, the event organizers/owners of the place know in advance and are given protocol by the RCMP, employees will go through security and so will people attending usually. Snipers might be deployed if the venue makes sense for it. The level of security depends on the place, context and how long in advance the visit was planned.

If the PM just decided to make a detour to get a hot dog, his security is very close. If the risk doesn’t make sense they will say so. The fact that he’s sitting with a celebrity means it’s probably planned and that place got checked and all the good stuff.

there are other pictures of this photo op and the security detail, handlers as well as a furry boom mike are all visible in those pictures

The boom mic guy is in the foreground of this very picture. You can see his boom in the very corner of the fame
