Canadian prime
minister Justin Trudeau is set to become first world leader to sashay into
the Drag Race werkroom later this month.
The Liberal
Party politician will make the extra special guest appearance, meeting the
queens in the upcoming Canada’s
Drag Race: Canada vs the World season, set to premiere this month.
In the
official trailer for the season, which dropped today, Brooke Lynn Hytes
introduces Trudeau to the queens in the werkroom, who are all suitably gagged
and gooped.
We're making

It’s not known
whether the Canadian prime minister will be taking a seat as a guest judge on
the main stage, but fans have taken to social media and seem happy enough to
see him on the show in any capacity.
“Justin
Trudeau being on Drag Race was not on my bingo card,” one wrote, while another
eloquently said: “GAY RIGHTS B*****S.”

Others seemed
less surprised that out of all the world’s leaders it’s Justin Trudeau hitting
up Drag Race first, given his pretty positive stance on LGBTQ+
rights, while others have expressed disbelief that there are still at least
some world leaders who seem to care about LGBTQ+ lives and culture.

Living in the world, where politicans can use
"ANTI-LGBTQ" as a part of their campaigns & recieving sympathy
for it, it's absolutely surprising to see Prime-Minister of Canada just
arriving on Drag Race. That's looks like the news from parallel universe. https://t.co/UnVjj5Urme

Earlier this
year, the US speaker of the house Nancy Pelosi appeared on RuPaul’s
Drag Race All Stars 7, opening up doors for some of the world’s
biggest political names to potential head onto the main stage.
However, it
seems somewhat unlikely that Rishi Sunak will be stomping the runway any time
soon.
Canada’s Drag
Race hits screens on Friday 18 November
and features queens including Canada’s Drag Race season two
winner Icesis Couture, Drag Race UK icons Victoria Scone and
Vanity Milan, as well as All Stars 6 legends Silky Nutmeg
Ganache and Ra’jah O’Hara.
The trailer
also promises a wild season, with the queens alluding to a “game within a
game”, “sabotage” and, of course, “delusion”.
Other guest
stars on the Canada’s Drag Race: Canada vs The World will
include the franchise’s season one winner Priyanka and All Stars 4 winner
Monet X Change, who will both join the judging panel.
Canada’s Drag
Race vs the World will premiere on BBC Three in the UK
on 19 November.
The show will
also be available internationally on streamer of all things drag, WOW Presents Plus.
