Jesus H. Christ, may we someday be able to have an election based on policy and not the fashion choices of the candidates.
Pretty sure Trudeau won his office on the basis of his boxing and yoga.
C'mon, it was his hair and we all know that.
It won't work, Milhouse.
This seems like they are trying the political version of the trope where the "ugly duckling nerd" come back to school after summer with a new haircut and contacts and is suddenly "hot".
Do they really think the people on this country are that stupid? Polliviere is still the same cretin he was before.
I am usually reluctant to link to The Sun but it's extremely interesting to remember what most of the right thought about PP ten years ago...

Pipsqueak is one of the Conservative Horsemen of the Apocalypse. Like the Biblical Horsemen, everything he says and does is bad. Everything that is good that he touches withers and dies.
Pipsqueak, who Harper actually named minister of state for democratic reform, is in fact one of the most despicable, loathsome politicians to ever grace the national stage. He is a pestilence made flesh.
A refresher: Pipsqueak is the Conservative MP who famously joked about “tar babies” in the House of Commons, a derogatory term to describe blacks. He is the MP who attacked Harper for compensating aboriginal residential schools victims, opining that what those lazy natives needed was “hard work.” He is the MP who told his fellow MPs “f--- you guys,” and then later said he would “confiscate” the tape of the occasion.
He is the Conservative MP who can always be counted upon to do the bidding of the adolescents in PMO. He is the MP who even big-C Conservative commentators, like the Ottawa Citizen’s Randy Denley, say is the poster child of “red-necked bigots” in his Nepean-Carleton riding. Ouch.
There is more, much more, but you get the point. Pipsqueak Pierre Poilievre is a disgrace to Parliament. He is a joke. And whatever Harper may have accomplished with his shuffle was unalterably diminished by the promotion of Pipsqueak.

What piece of shit.
Yeah people forget that he's been shitty for a long time, and that he isn't some outsider.
I still say his hard-on for defunding the CBC goes all the way back to The Mercer Report.
I had people challenge me on that belief awhile back, saying that nobody could hold a grudge that long. And yet we find out today that one producer stopped Babylon 5 in its tracks for 20 fucking years. So yes, Internet, people in power can hold a grudge as long as they goddamn please.
Wait, I'm actually really curious about this Babylon 5 tidbit. Who was that? What happened?
Perhaps he should drop his racist "base".
I feel like he's also forcing his eyes open wider. He tends to squint when he's relaxed, and these days his brow is constantly furrowed. Like, he's always trying to make himself look surprised to fight against his own natural squint.
It must be exhausting.
That is totally what he looks like without them too!
Does he actually think this is going to fool anyone?
It worked for Superman.
Did it, though? Superman got away with it in part because Clark Kent didn't really act like Superman (in all the iterations I've encountered, anyway, which I admit don't include the original comics), so anyone who might be able to see past the glasses would give him a sidelong look and go, ". . . Nah."
It'll be a cold day in hell before Poilievre changes his attitude that much.
Fair point.
Honestly he looks better without glasses
Woohoo! Hey can you get a new personality at the same time too?
And a new set of political beliefs.
They made him look too smart. The base hates smart, that's elitist.
