Though the self-aggrandizing Canadian PM self-identifies as a “feminist”, millennials may still find him “sexy”

All Canada’s prime minister wants for Christmas is the perfect globe-sweeping SELFIE of all time.
With pictures for every month of the coming year, sung about in Neil Sedaka’s ‘Calendar Girl’, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau may as well have named his 2018 ‘Justin Trudeau. My Canadian Boyfriend Calendar’, already for up sale on Amazon in time for the Christmas rush: ‘“Oh come let us adore him”.
His strangely silent Liberal MPs should be squirming in embarrassment, but apparently they were the last to know that the Boyfriend Calendar had been posted online even though it followed by only a few days, the Liberal ‘Winter Wardrobe Race’, including famed Trudeau socks like the ones he sported at 2017 Toronto’s Gay Pride Day with text reading “Eid Mubarak,” honouring the religious holiday that marks the end of Ramadan, the Islamic holy month of fasting, which coincided with Gay Pride this year.“The 2018 "Justin Trudeau, My Canadian Boyfriend" calendar, which will run you just over $12 American on Amazon ($18.99 Canadian), features 12 months of sexy, scintillating, and, for some of us, vomit-inducing, photos of the Canadian Prime Minister during regular, everyday things. “Its publisher bills it as "a year-long celebration of dynamic, smart, compassionate, and sometimes sassy Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.” “The calendar features 12 images "Yucon" enjoy of model-like role-model Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. Featuring sweetly off-kilter but well-meaning commentary about his views from his sparkling blue eyes on everything from love, family and of course global affairs and economic growth, it is a true celebration of the man, the myth, and the meme that is Justin Trudeau. “Only one of the photos is shirtless — an archive picture from the days when Trudeau was trying to make his name as an amateur boxer, before he decided to trade on his family's famous last name and work in politics. In February, he's wearing a white, button-down shirt and holding his hands in the shape of a heart over his chest. “Canadian reception for the calendar is mixed, with some supporters simply aching to get their grubby paws on the sexy photo collage, and others fairly sure even Justin's wife would roll her eyes.
“If a calendar isn't your style — and let's face it, everyone just uses their cell phones now, anyway — the publishing company that produced it, Rizzoli, says there will be a forthcoming book by the same title, due out in 2018.” (Daily Wire) The 2018 “Justin Trudeau, My Canadian Boyfriend Calendar” would be hilarious if it weren’t for some of the comments left on Amazon, like the scary one: “He’ll probably be reelected in 2019.”Justin time for Xmas: the @JustinTrudeau, 'my boyfriend' calendar. I suspect even Sophie would say "Eew." pic.twitter.com/oW6ve1TGoe
