Like his parents, Justin Trudeau has been attacked on the sexual front. It’s no accident that Rob Ford, the internationally famous former mayor of Toronto, slurred Justin Trudeau as “a fag.” In various more polite ways, the Canadian Conservative Party and its media allies have tried to diminish Justin Trudeau by feminizing him or hinting at his deficiency in traditional masculinity. The Conservative Party
ran ads mocking the younger Trudeau for his “nice hair.” One columnist
referred to Trudeau as “strangely pretty” and an “insufferably foppish celebrity drama queen.”
