The Perfect Gentleman Issue 9 - Christmas | Page 20
Compared to our last drab and emotionless PM,
this energetic and charming leader is a breath of
fresh air. Like his father, the younger Trudeau
has captured the minds and the hearts of
Canadians and people around the world. He has
been called Canada’s rock star, he’s bromantic
with the U.S. president, and he’s on a first-name
basis with famous people like Gordon Downey
from Canada’s Tragically Hip, U2 front man,
Bono, and actor, Leo DiCaprio.

Our PM is on that list. This puts Canada on a
different level.
Another Trudeau has made dull Canadian
politics accessible and exciting. Justin Trudeau
has made Canada cool again.
Our Handsome PM
Justin Trudeau (JT) is interesting, modern, and
stylish; he’s got a tattoo on his shoulder, he’s a
boxer and a yoga enthusiast. What most people
are struck with however, is his good looks.
The world has once again become enchanted
with a Trudeau. JT is blessed not only with his
father’s charisma but his mother’s beauty.
Margaret Trudeau gave him the face (and the
hair) that the world has fallen for. One of the
benefits of being good-looking is that other
people are drawn to you and want to be around
you. Pretty people are thought of as more
likeable, intelligent, and credible, and the
international media has taken quite a shine to
the young Trudeau.

When he was elected last year, people went
crazy for this “foxy” Canadian Prime Minister.
The Chinese media swooned over him on a trip
to China, when in Tokyo for a G7 meeting, the
Japan Times called him “Canada’s Hunky Prime
Minister” and Indian Express fawned over
Trudeau’s Bhangra dance and wrote “it would
difficult to find someone who dislikes him –
thanks to his liberal views, inclusive
administration and a personality that’s oh-soloving”
Americans too have taken a shine to JT and
Many proclaim their love on social media.
“How will the Canadians ever tackle climate
change when their new prime minister is so hot?
Yow!” one American tweeted. Some want to
swap him for Justin Bieber, and others just want
to eat him (“congrats to canada for electing the
first edible prime minister”, one U.S. tweet read).
