Next Prime Minister to be much less handsome, confirms Canada

Canada has today confirmed their next prime minister won’t be nearly as handsome as the outgoing Justin Trudeau. 

The Canadian prime minister and Aladdin-impersonator resigned yesterday after nearly a decade in power, though everybody was too busy staring into his big, blue eyes to notice anything he was saying.

“I didn’t even know he’d resigned until later that night,” said Canadian resident Simon Le Williams. “I couldn’t stop looking at his hair. How does he get it so shiny?

“I’m sure he had some policies during his time as prime minister. Not a clue what they were, mind you. All I know is that Trudeau’s beard phase was a thing of beauty. Mostly black with just a hint of grey. Magnifique!

“Anyway, I’m off to get a plaster. I cut myself on his cheekbone on the way out.”

Trudeau resigns amid falling popularity and clashes with members of his own party as Canada faces more political turmoil in the upcoming months.

“Couldn’t we just keep him a bit longer?” Le Williams begged. “He doesn’t have to run the country or anything like that. Just keep putting him on the TV so we can look at him a bit longer. 

“We’ve seen some of the leaders the UK has had. You don’t know how lucky you are until you see Boris Johnson on a zip-line.”
