The suspiciously handsome Canadian prime minister Justin Trudeau was asked on Wednesday why it’s important to have a gender balance in the cabinet. As the Times of India reported:
‘It’s an incredible pleasure for me to be before you here today to present to Canada a cabinet that looks like Canada,’ Trudeau told reporters after he was sworn in with his team, which includes immigrants, aboriginals, religious minorities, a quadriplegic and 15 women.
Trudeau, the first son of a prime minister to take office in Canada and the second-youngest in the country’s history, has grabbed international attention for his good looks and retail approach to politics.
Asked why he felt gender equality in the Cabinet was important, Trudeau said simply: ‘Because it is 2015.’
But when you think about it, that could also be the answer to the question ‘why are you cutting my head off?’
