crush of the month club: Justin Trudeau

Canada's Most Eligible Bachelor

Mar 06, 2025

Welcome to Crush of the Month Club, where I spotlight the famous men who are unexpectedly stealing our attention (or maybe just mine!). Maybe it’s their charm, their talent, their confidence — or maybe it’s just good hair, and BDE. Either way, this is a space to appreciate the crushes we didn’t see coming (or the ones we did).

Let me start by saying: this isn’t about politics. Yes, I have my beliefs, and yes, I’ll write about them on my Substack—whether or not people agree with me. That’s kind of the point. We’re not supposed to see the world the same way; we’re just supposed to respect that other perspectives exist. We don’t always have to prove we’re right, and someone is wrong (although, in some instances, I feel like it’s very obvious what’s right and what’s wrong).

Anyway. That said, I have to admit: Justin Trudeau has made me a proud Canadian these past few weeks. His speeches have been patriotic, measured, diplomatic, and—dare I say—inspiring. And somewhere between his well-timed emotional pauses and his refusal to back down to *a certain American president*, I realized something: older men can be hot (you guys know how I feel about younger men).

Justin Trudeau wasn’t even on my radar beyond, you know, being the Prime Minister of my country. I voted for him, sure. I’ve liked some things about him, disliked others. But I respect how he’s choosing to leave office—with confidence, conviction, and a clear commitment to putting Canada first. And honestly? That’s hot.

So, welcome to Crush of the Month, where I break down the famous men who unexpectedly steal our attention. And this month? It’s Justin Trudeau’s turn.

Name: Justin Trudeau

Age: 52 (but let’s be honest, the salt-and-pepper hair is working with that baby face of his)

Astrological sign: Capricorn (Sun); Aries (Moon); Virgo (Rising)

Location: Ottawa, Canada

Occupation: Prime Minister (for now), former teacher, occasional heartthrob

Height: 6’2” (yes, really)

Bio: Reformed drama teacher turned world leader, soon-to-be Canada’s most eligible bachelor. Single dad who can juggle diplomacy, bedtime stories, and spontaneous hockey talk. Not afraid to throw a punch (former boxer) or shed a tear (ask him about Gord Downie). Fluent in English and French, meaning he can flirt and make a heartfelt resignation speech in both languages. Wore a full Canadian tuxedo to a Tragically Hip farewell concert, danced like nobody was watching at a Taylor Swift show, and is stepping down with the kind of speech that reminds you why national pride is still a thing.

Hobbies & Interests:

Watching & playing hockey (was *very* into Canada’s recent 4 Nations win)
Boxing (ask Patrick Brazeau how that went)
Reading & lifelong learning
Travel & international diplomacy (but make it charming)
A soft spot for the arts (because once a drama teacher, always a drama teacher)
Being a full-time dad (with Prime Minister duties on the side)
Dancing like no one’s watching (except they always are)

What He’s Looking For: Someone who appreciates a good debate, values kindness, and won’t mind that his schedule is about to get *a lot* more flexible. Must be cool with hockey talk, emotional speeches, and occasional public awkwardness. Bonus points if you also believe in unity, progressive values, and the power of a well-fitted suit.

Potential Red Flags:

Venus in Aquarius: Independent, emotionally aloof, and more focused on the collective than the personal (see: prioritizing his career over his marriage).
Work Over Everything: Being Prime Minister came first, which doesn’t exactly scream work-life balance.
Emotional, Yet Distant: He’ll cry in a speech but might not be the most emotionally available partner.
Legacy Kid Privilege: Born into politics, which helped fast-track his rise.
Occasionally Cringe: The India trip, the quantum computing moment, the costumes... not always smooth, but who is?

Why He’s Our Crush of the Month: Justin Trudeau isn’t just leaving office—he’s leaving on a high. His recent speeches have been patriotic, measured, and inspiring, stirring up the kind of national pride that makes you want to wrap yourself in a Canadian flag, take a shot of maple syrup, and belt out “O Canada” (the Chantel Kreviazuk version) — even if you’re not Canadian. During his tensure, he’s positioned himself as a feminist, openly calling himself one, and building a cabinet with gender parity from day one. He’s advocated for LBGTQ+ rights, Indigenous reconciliation, and progressive policies — even if, yes, his execution hasn’t always been perfect.

Indeed, he’s had his cringe moments, but he’s also had his hot ones—like being a loyal husband for 18 years (that’s his Capricorn energy!), standing by his principles, and throwing himself into a hockey celebration like a true Canadian. And let’s not count him out just yet. When he steps down, he’ll likely be the most eligible bachelor in the country. Maybe he’ll get a Netflix deal. Maybe he’ll casually show up courtside at a Raptors game, looking suspiciously well-rested. Maybe, just maybe, he’ll make a surprise appearance on The Bachelor. Maybe he will be the next Bachelor! One thing’s for sure—this era isn’t over. And this man is probably just going to get hotter.
