10 Times Canadian Politicians Proved They're Ridiculous Humans

    Some odd shit has happened over the past 10 years.

    1. When Prime Minister Stephen Harper flirted with a comedian by asking her if she "likes handcuffs."

    2. When Green Party Leader Elizabeth May made the most painfully awkward speech ever at the Press Gallery Dinner.

    3. When someone asked Harper: "If you were a vegetable, what type of vegetable would you be?"

    He ended up saying he'd actually be a fruit, because he's "sweet and colourful."

    4. When a Canadian senator (now suspended) and MP stripped down and punched each other.

    ...for charity!

    5. When NDP Leader Tom Mulcair dressed up as an Angry Bird for Hallowe'en.

    He just looks so ridiculous.

    6. And when Harper made the children visiting him for Hallowe'en go through metal detectors.

    Obviously Harper is taking the domestic miniature pirate threat very seriously.

    7. When the prime minister gave Justin Bieber a medal.

    In fairness to @justinbieber, I told him I would be wearing my overalls too. #cdnpoli #beliebers

    #beliebers

    8. When Justin Trudeau (or whoever was running his account) misspelled his own child's name.

    Welcome to the world, little Hadrian. 8lbs 3oz, Sophie is wonderful, Xavier and Ella-Grace couldn’t be prouder.

    The Liberal leader later clarified that it's actually "Hadrien," with an "e."

    9. When NDP MP Pat Martin said he had to leave during a vote because his bargain-bin underwear were too tight.

    10. When this happened.

    That's not Laureen.
