Canadians Finally Lose Trust In Trudeau After Calling Pineapple Pizza A “National Treasure”

“The lies, the corruption, the reckless spending, Julie Payette, all of that I was able to turn a blind eye to. But this, this is too far,” said one Canadian.

Ottawa  - The Prime Minister took to Twitter today to declare that pineapple on pizza was a “National Treasure”, in what many are calling the most treasonous act by a sitting Prime Minister since William Lyon Mackenzie King calling Hitler a “great guy” after their 1937 meeting.

“I’m stunned and appalled by his heinous words. Pineapple is not a pizza topping,” said 47 year old Charlotte Bruin, “I’ve been able to forgive him for a lot of stuff, from his disregard for missing indigenous women to the WE scandal that I don’t actually understand. But this is a new low for him, he needs to apologize, or better yet resign.” 

And although impeachment isn’t actually a thing in parliamentary government, many Canadians are still calling for it. In a poll posted on the Toronto Harold’s Instagram page, 52% of readers said they were in favour of impeaching Trudeau for liking Hawaiian pizza, while 48% of readers better go find a new Toronto-centric satire site to like because they are no longer welcome here. 

To make matters worse for the PM, many in Ottawa are demanding more than just an apology from Trudeau. Conservative leader Erin O’Toole, who has the demeanour of someone who once ate an entire tomahawk steak on his own, is demanding that Trudeau step down immediately.  

“Pineapple does not belong on a pizza,” said O’Toole, “We can’t trust a leader who puts fruit on pizza. I myself haven’t eaten a single fruit or vegetable since 1997.”

Trudeau has since refused to apologize for violating the Geneva Conventions, and instead posted a follow up tweet in French stating, “Bon appetit! Ananas sur la pizza est tres yum!!!!”
