After becoming the second-youngest Canadian prime minister in history,
Justin Trudeau appointed 15 women to his cabinet
Because it's 2015
He welcomed 25,000 Syrian refugees into Canada
Welcome to your new home
And now, he’s the first Canadian PM in nearly 20 years
to be invited to a White House state dinner
So what's the catch?
What did you think of our Prime Minister?
He's so hot!
A lot of people think Trudeau is the catch
He gives me chills
And he makes me cold
Obvious good looks aside, Trudeau has set an exciting new liberal precedent in Canada
He's pro-choice
I don’t think that it’s up to legislators to dictate what a woman has to do with her body
He's pro-marijuana
I think five or six times in my life that I've taken a puff
He just announced a woman will be on Canada’s next bank note,
and he's a feminist
We shouldn't be afraid of the word 'feminist'
Men and women should use it to describe themselves anytime they want
He's young and ambitious
and 6'2''
and
but critics say he can’t actually back it all up
You're too young
You're inexperienced
That you don’t have what it takes to do this job
The way I respond to it is by ignoring it
Others say his only real credential is being the son of a former prime minister
Despite being in the public eye for so long, he manages to seem normal
I was a snowboard instructor
I was a bouncer at a nightclub
I was a white water river guide for many years
Regardless of political preferences,
Trudeau comes off as, well
cool
He's boxed
and stripped for charity,
he acted in a war documentary,
he has a tattoo,
he hangs with pandas
He even has a party trick where he falls down stairs
The U.S. has Trudeau to the north
and President Enrique Peña Nieto to the south
Basically, North America has two fresh, artisanal buns,
and we're just hoping the meat we get isn't
old steak
So here's to you
Unlike other Justins from Canada
Trudeau is one that everybody can get behind
Keep following,
keep liking
and stay tuned for what happens next
