Parliament is now in session! As we kick-off this season of political wrangling and policies, we thought we'd take a look at some of our most prominent MP's fashion choices.
And who better to start with than Papineau MP Justin Trudeau. The son of, arguably, the most sartorially smart and savvy politician in Canadian history (Pierre Elliott) is a steady favourite of political junkies on the Hill. Will he run to become leader of the Liberal party? Does he have what it takes to become Prime Minster? So much gossip and political fodder!
But what we at The Huffington Post Canada Style really want to know is, "Does he have a stylist?" Because, if so, he or she needs to be fired. Yes, Trudeau has charm and charisma, but his fashion choices are, more often than not, bemusing.
There was that mustache. And then the boxing match. And how can one forget about that fur jacket kerfuffle.
As Mark Twain wrote, "Clothes make the man." So, Mr. Trudeau, we have to ask -- what do your fashion choices say about you? Leaving a country of constituents confused is probably not something you, as a potential suitor of the Canadian Prime Minister's office, should be striving for.
Check out some of Justin Trudeau's fashion choices over the years. And let us know what you think:

"What's up!?"

He looks sexy in that uniform, but <em>what is with that moustache</em>!?

Nice sweater. However, we'd like to call attention to Trudeau's blue shirt.

"I like to box!"

One of the weirdest publicity stunts ever to be performed on Parliament Hill. Even Trudeau finds it funny.

Seriously!?

Blue shirt appearance number two.

We're not going to knock a guy on his wedding day.

Trudeau was not having a good hair day in this picture.
<em>Credit: CP</em>
*Dreamy!*

Pairing fall's two "it" colours (black and white) together. Smart sartorial decision one.
<em>Credit: CP</em>
Okay...
<em>Credit: CP</em>
No! Just. No.

Blue shirt appearance number three.
<em>Credit: CP</em>
Seriously. This moustache is killing us to look at. (Also, blue shirt appearance number four.)
<em>Credit: CP</em>
Cheese.
<em>Credit: Media Ball</em>
It is <em>not</em> okay for an MP or a Senator to wear this. Ever.
<em>Credit: CP</em>
The weigh-in.

A possible future Prime Minister, folks.
<em>Credit: CP</em>
Trudeau celebrates!
<em>Credit: CP</em>
Again with the bad hair day!
<em>Credit: CP</em>
There are no words. The hair. The moustache. The poorly tied tie. Why, Justin? Why!?
<em>Credit: CP</em>
Blue shirt appearance number five. You bored yet?
<em>Credit: CP</em>
Adorbs!
<em>Credit: CP</em>
Blue shirt appearance number six. We're starting to wonder if this is the only shade he has in his wardrobe.
<em>Credit: CP</em>
Holy flying fur!
<em>Credit: CP</em>
Really? And you may run to be Canada's next Prime Minister?
<em>Credit: Media Handout</em>
This is the Justin Trudeau hair we like.
<em>Credit: CP</em>
Yay! Blue shirt appearance number seven. (That cowboy hat is appropriate, and a sartorially smart decision for the Stampede. Well done.)
<em>Credit: CP</em>
Keeping it casual. Though, Justin, we suggest you get someone to tailor your jeans (they're far too big).
<em>Credit: CP</em>
And, for the grand finale: blue shirt appearance number eight. You're welcome.

This article judging Trudeau's fashion choices brilliantly illustrates major differences between Canadians and Americans. To a large extent, compared to Americans,Canadians are sovereign beings with big, free, independent brains. We are sovereign individuals who each do what we freely choose to do in our own lives without being dictated to by external authority figures. And we just don't care what anyone thinks about us. That's partly why Americans can't understand us and can't control us.

Acttually, it shows the bias of the HPfashion Style dept with regards to "style" and how they make it issue trying to create the expectation in others to demand people conform to their view.

Justin Trudeau is a rookie MP and a celebrity, period. Once he accomplishes something in his life, as his father did, then and only then should he be taken seriously as a potential leadership candidate. In the meantime this kind of article is a waste of time.

Ok, I know this was a silly article but you might have mentioned that the mustaches were Movember, a fundraising and awareness effort for prostate cancer that many pols and others support. Also, the boxing was for charity as well. As for being a trust fund baby, he's representing the voters of Papineau, and worked as a teacher in BC before entering politics. The cynicism on this site is amazing.

This guy will never be a serious political candidate. Throw that cowboy hat in the ring for Liberal Party leadership, I dare you. It won't increase their support one iota.
