Canadian prime minister019 Archivesworld leader poster boy, Justin Trudeau, dressed up for Halloween, and well, it's a little bit too self-aware. Trudeau stealthily dressed as Clark Kent, and exposed himself as Superman. That's right, Superman.

Trudeau has become a little darling of American media in the last year, as the country looks north and asks: "Why can't we have a young, good-looking, thoughtful leader, like Canada?"

Don't get me wrong -- it's hard to not fall for Trudeau's calm demeanor and perfect smile. It's easy to long for a leader who speaks multiple languages while yours can barely speak one, but Superman, really?

“It had to be done," Trudeau apparently said after walking down of flight of stairs, donning a pair of thick black glasses, his hair slick and shiny. He opened his buttoned down shirt, revealing a blue shirt beneath with the classic Superman logo.

It didn't have to be done. Trudeau is clearly fishing for more media attention (here it is), a tactic his administration has used for some time now. While Trudeau may be the darling politician to some, his obvious PR moves are getting old real quick.
