Conservatives and NDP blast Trudeau's wife for wanting extra staff to help with her official duties
OTTAWA - The opposition parties are making some political hay over media reports that Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's wife wants extra staff to help manage her official duties. Sophie Gregoire was quoted this week in the Quebec City newspaper Le Soleil as saying she is overwhelmed by the crush of requests from groups that either invite her to speak or ask her to help promote their causes.

I think we're seeing a slightly different not necessarily "view" but media friendly PMO/PMF (Prime Ministers Family). I feel like I've seen more of Mrs. Trudeau already, than I have of Mrs. Harper over the last couple years.
Other countries definitely seem to have a "position" of "head of state's significant other", whereas, I we've mostly let them be "Mrs. (Insert last name here)". Whether that will continue, is yet to be seen, but the media loves the Trudeau's, in office or not.
