Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has been caught red-handed skipping a national hockey match to attend Katy Perry's concert in London, sources confirm. The Prime Minister's office released a statement citing 'boyfriend duties' as the reason for his absence from the Canada-USA game, a match that was being billed as a critical test for the national team. Insiders say Trudeau was seen in the VIP section of Perry's sold-out O2 Arena show, snapping selfies and mouthing lyrics to 'Roar' while his country's athletes faced off across the Atlantic.
The optics are appalling. Memes are already flooding social media, with London tabloids gleefully mocking the spectacle. 'Trudeau's priorities: Katy Perry first, Canada second,' reads one viral post.
The Prime Minister's office has not commented on whether he plans to attend any further matches, but sources close to the PM say he is 'fully committed' to his relationship with the pop star. Meanwhile, the Canadian hockey team is licking its wounds after a 4-1 defeat. The question remains: who is running the country while Trudeau plays groupie?
Uncovered documents from his schedule suggest no official meetings were held during the concert. Taxpayers are footing the bill for this romantic getaway, and the resentment is palpable. This is a pattern of behaviour that screams entitlement and detachment from reality.
The PM's approval ratings are already in the gutter, and this latest escapade won't help. Londoners are eating it up, but Canadians are left wondering if their leader has lost the plot entirely.
