Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and pop star Katy Perry were spotted dining together at an upscale Montreal restaurant last night, sending Canada’s gossip ecosystem, and its existential dread, into overdrive.
Witnesses report the pair shared oysters, champagne, and what one diner described as “the kind of laughter you only hear when two people know they’re being photographed.”
Speculation about the meeting’s purpose ranges from harmless PR stunt to a secret plot to merge Canada’s foreign policy with Perry’s touring schedule. One political analyst suggested Perry may have been coaching Trudeau on how to rebrand himself after years of political bruising, possibly by adopting a candy-themed wardrobe and singing his speeches.
Neither camp has commented, though an aide was overheard muttering, “At least it’s not another boxing match.”
Canada remains divided on the sighting: half curious, half deeply uncomfortable.
