Watch those who arenā€™t who they seem

Now, Iā€™m not sure how to tell you this, but Prime Minister Justin Trudeau seems to be superā€¦ two-faced.

Look, I know I sound crazy, but Iā€™m beginning to notice a pattern. At first, he starts off really cool and like the kind of guy that youā€™d totally introduce to your parents. He just has such a charming smile and acts as if he really wants to change things around here, and donā€™t even get me started on his charisma; all of the other countries were so jealous that you were able to take him home.

I mean, he seemed so perfectā€¦ at the time. Though, anything could beat your lousy ex-boyfriend given his obsession with the Middle East, and his cold, lifeless eyes.

As time goes on, though, I think Trudeauā€™s true colours are starting to show. He avoids your calls and spends all his time taking the perfect and totally-not-preordained photo bombs at graduationsā€”without you. He hasnā€™t even mentioned when heā€™s going to start looking into the Missing and Murdered Indigenous women cases, even though he promised that heā€™d do that ages ago.

Heā€™s also just always trying to impress other countries around himā€”you remember the India incident, right? You were so embarrassed after, and he just smiled away; like he always does.

I get that heā€™s way better to have than USā€™s boyfriend, but is that really saying all that much? At least you know exactly where his head is all the time, but with Trudeau itā€™s all ā€œI care about the environmentā€ one minute and then the next heā€™s decided to buy the pipelineā€”with your money, I might add. Just like TLC, itā€™s time to say, ā€œI donā€™t want no scrubs.ā€

Before you give him the axe though, I wanted to warn you that it might not be his fault. I know you didnā€™t want me to do this, but I did some digging. I think that heā€™s lying about when he was really born. All the signs point to itā€”flip-floppy behaviour, befriending literally everyone he comes into contact with despite passionately talking shit about them only moments before, the restlessnessā€”Justin Trudeau is a Gemini.

Trust me, I didnā€™t want to believe it either. He just displays all of the symptoms characteristic of May 21 to June 20 babies. Iā€™m afraid that thereā€™s no stopping a Taurus rising in Gemini. With the stubbornness of an ox paired with the flightiness of the twins, youā€™re set for a rocky relationship. At least thereā€™s still hope for you though, come next election.
