Well, this is awkward.
In a segment on Prime Minister Justin Trudeau Sunday night, "60 Minutes" accidentally showed a photo of Kim Cattrall, calling her Margaret Trudeau.

The "Sex and the City" actress reportedly dated Trudeau's father, former prime minister Pierre Elliott Trudeau.
Pierre married Justin's mother, Margaret, in 1971. They separated six years later.

In 1981, Pierre Trudeau was photographed at events like the Genie Awards with Cattrall, who grew up on Vancouver Island and still owns a home there.
"He was so incredibly sexy," she told a biographer who profiled the former PM. "He was very soft-spoken, incredibly smart, sensitive."

"60 Minutes" apologized for the mix-up on Monday. "We regret the error on one of the several video and still images shown of Margaret Trudeau. It was corrected online last night," a spokesman told The Hollywood Reporter.
Canadians were quick to point out the gaffe on Twitter:
