Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is making headlines again. As the hearings on his knee-jerk invocation of the Emergencies Act drag on, Rachel Gilmore of Global News tittered on Twitter that Trudeau was going for yet another first: “Prime Minister Justin Trudeau hasn’t sashayed away from the opportunity of being the first world leader on Drag Race. Condragulations, [sic] Canada!” The trailer, posted from the TV show Canada’s Drag Show, featured the prime minister striding onto the set—to enormous excitement.
Justin Trudeau is swinging by the “werkroom” on an upcoming spinoff of “Canada’s Drag Race.” Producers of the drag queen competition series say the Prime Minister will make a special appearance on “Canada’s Drag Race: Canada vs. the World”…An image from the set showed Trudeau beside Toronto drag queen and host Brooke Lynn Hytes in a segment where the contestants receive inspiring words before the episode’s main challenge.
Gilmore—an alleged journalist who alternates between complaining about right-wingers and claiming persecution—stated that Trudeau’s appearance is significant because of the existence of parents who find these performances inappropriate: “Trudeau is making this appearance at a time when Drag events have been facing serious, hate-fueled backlash…Multiple events at libraries in Canada, where Drag Queens have read stories to kids about inclusivity, have been protested. Organizers have faced hateful slurs and threats.”
Pretty pathetic, he wasn’t even here for remembrance day. Where are his priorities?
