A Winnipeg bakery is fighting back against criticism following an unscheduled stop by the Prime Minister.

Justin Trudeau posted online that he stopped in at Oh Doughnuts to pick up treats for his cabinet retreat in Winnipeg.

He was quickly criticized on social media for choosing a pricey bakery rather than a fast-food chain such as Tim Hortons.

Oh Doughnuts has posted a lengthy explanation of why supporting local businesses is a good idea.
