—Justin Trudeau describing himself in a nutshell[1]

Justin "Joe" Pierre James "Comeback Kid" Trudeau (pronounced "true dough") (born 1971) is the 23rd and incumbent Prime Minister of Canada, and current leader of the federal Liberal Party of Canada. He succeeded Stephen Harper as prime minister following the 2015 federal election, in which his Liberal Party went from the lowest share of seats in their history to a majority. His election brought some hope & excitement to many people who didn't like Stephen Harper, who had been in office for 9 & a half years. He was widely seen as a dreamboat (for a politician anyway); the hottest politician ever.[2][3][4][5][6]

Trudeau being Trudeau[edit]

Linguistic Oopsie[edit]

Trudeau is bilingual (a fact he really wants you to remember), and as a politician in bilingual Canada this has helped him immensely, especially when compared to The Conservative Party of Canada's new leadership hopeful's attempts at grasping the language.[7][8] Alas, he could not save himself from probably the most awkward bilingual backfire ever, when he swore allegiance to Queen Elizabeth II, her "hairs" and successors.[9]

Hypocrisy[edit]

Despite his rhetoric on environmental protection, Trudeau supports the further opening up of the Alberta tar sands, some of the world's greatest current climate disasters, thus like his counterpart undermining effective climate change policies, just in a different and, to quote The Guardian, "hypocritical" way. His government spent billions to acquire tar sands pipelines, which effectively makes Trudeau and all future prime ministers oil executives,[10][11][12] goodie. On the subject of hypocrisy, although Trudeau promised to combat tax avoidance when he was running for Prime Minister, an aide and donor to his campaign, Stephen Bronfman, is linked to an offshore tax evading scheme unearthed by the leak of the "Paradise Papers" in 2017. Notably, Bronfman considers the Prime Minister to be "very, very saleable."[13] Following the leak of the "Panama Papers" in 2015, which implicated numerous Canadians, the Prime Minister was quick to deny any wrongdoing.[14]

...allowing Poilievre to "repackage and legitimize conventional conservative emphases on free markets, deregulation and small government." [15]
