By now, most Canadians are well acquainted with Canada's prime minister-designate, Justin Trudeau.

(Even the Conservatives seemed to get into the act, with campaign ads that remarked on Trudeau's "nice hair.")

Shortly after he became the prime minister-designate, The Mirror, a UK-based newspaper, ran a piece titled "Is Justin Trudeau the sexiest politician in the world?"
