Dicentra Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 And is it wrong that I'm kinda, sorta secretly proud in a weird Canadian way that our new prime minister elect is being considered the world's sexiest politician? ;) :D http://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/justin-trudeau-is-seen-by-non-canadians-as-attractive-1.3279862 Scroll down and check out his boxing pose picture. Yes - that's a legit picture. Yes - that's our new prime minister. :) No - I'm not normally into objectifying anyone's looks but he did pose for that knowing full well the impression it would make on females and/or those attracted to a buff male physique. :D I won't discuss policy or anything else of that ilk 'cause that would be political. :) 15 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catz Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 Ummm ... this is the first time I'm seeing his picture. Wow. Yes, you may have the lock on world's sexiest leader. LOL :lol: 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm positive that's the only way we ended up with Sarah Palin, and I'm a republican! It makes a huge difference subconsciously, especially with less politically involved voters. The less real data on the politician, the more of an effect their appearance has on the voting on an individual basis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gardenmom5 Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 I think anyone who voted for him based upon his "being sexy' - - - isn't mature enough to vote. PM is a grown up job - and talking about "sexiness" (which has ZIP affect on the job) sounds so teenagerish. eta: I've seen the headlines - and just smh. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

momof4babes Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 He didn't get my vote, but he's certainly easier on the eyes than Harper. He's the first prime minister I have seen, or wanted to see topless. 😜 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
38carrots Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 Considering his mother's famous for not wearing panties, it could've been much worse than doing yoga at the Parliament Hill.

foxbridgeacademy Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 I wish I was Canadian not because of the MP, or not just because of the cute MP. He reminds me a little of my husband except DH hasn't quite kept the boxer body. If you were to look at Putin I guess he could be considered okay, it's just to hard to get past his personality and politics.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dicentra Posted October 21, 2015 Author Share Posted October 21, 2015 Huh. I didn't expect to see the thread get a one-star rating. Ah well. :) I suppose if the topic is considered truly offensive, I can ask for the thread to be removed. The whole thing amused me, frankly. How often does one encounter the word "sexy" in the same sentence as the word "Canada"? ;) :) 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I seriously thought the stress of the election results was going to cause DH to have a heart attack. Seriously. He is afraid of losing his ability to hunt, to target shoot, to enjoy his hobby. He is afraid that the budget for his line of work will be decimated even more, putting his life, and those of his coworkers, in more jeopardy. Like I said, it's very raw, and nobody is joking around here. I've said my piece, and I will bow out now. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

foxbridgeacademy Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 There's always going to be some one who is upset by something. Nothing wrong with that but it shouldn't keep others from talking about it in the way they chose, especially since it's not meant to be political. In fact who has politicized this thread are those who are against the particular PM because of his particular politics. If we stick to the parameters of the OP we are here only to judge his attractiveness and gauge whether Diacentra is weird because she's proud that her PM is considered sexy. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
