Trudeau, a noted Montreal Canadiens loyalist, didn’t exactly hide his allegiance yesterday when asked about the Leafs and Habs opening round playoff series, saying that he’s amazed at Leafs fans who “cling to hope every year” despite the fact that they haven’t won a Stanley Cup in over 50 years.

I’ve got to say, I don’t think Trudeau is going to win over many Ontarians with this take. Know your audience, Justin! There’s a lot of voters in Leafs Nation!
