Justin Trudeau's next visit in Windsor may come sooner than expected.

On Thursday, the Prime Minister kicked off a two-day stop in Windsor, telling those in attendance at a Liberal party fundraiser he looks forward to "coming back an awful lot over the coming 12 months."

"This is a big week for Canada but really it's a big week for Windsor," said Trudeau, less than a week after Canada reached a new trade deal with the United States and Mexico.

"There's still parts of the country where I think we need a better job of listening, of drawing together and involving you in the solutions and one of those areas definitely is the tip of southwestern Ontario — particularly the Windsor region."

He said part of his Thanksgiving will be spent "celebrating new ties with the Gordie Howe International Bridge."

Trudeau's stay continues Friday when he attends a "community celebration" for the Gordie Howe bridge and visits the Chrysler assembly plant.
