Justin Trudeau chose Katy Perry over Canada. The former prime minister popped out to his country’s first ever World Cup game on home soil to watch his girlfriend perform ahead of the US men’s national team opener in Los Angeles.
Make of it what you will!
For Trudeau to leave his own country under the greatest soccer battle in his story speaks loudly of his feelings towards Perry. It could also mean that he has seen the light…
Canada played its first ever World Cup match in Canada.
Canada has participated in the FIFA Men’s World Cup three times: in 1986, in 2022 and as co-hosts in 2026. Les Rouges recorded their first ever point at the World Cup on Friday in their first ever game on home soil. It is now 0-1-6 all the time.
The Canadian men’s national team played to a draw against Bosnia and Herzegovina in front of a raucous crowd at Toronto Stadium. A sea of red completely took over the streets for the march to the stadium.
Canada’s March to the Match continues to work its way through the streets of Toronto towards the stadiums.
Beautiful scenes of fans singing and cheering and high five fans lining the streets.
It will be electric inside the stadium today. pic.twitter.com/PUg96LzLYn

This guy might be the most Canadian Canadian that ever lived:
We have reached the top of Canadiana here at the March to the Match and arrived at the Princes’ Gate near the stadium.

Toronto Stadium was at full capacity with only a small section of blue. The host city turned out to support their team.

However, there was one notable absence. The country’s 23rd Prime Minister was not present!
Justin Trudeau was in Los Angeles with Katy Perry.
Canada drew 1-1 with Bosnia and Herzegovina on Friday afternoon. The USA cruised to a 4-1 victory over Paraguay on Friday night.
Katy Perry performed on the field ahead of the first US game of the tournament as part of the pregame festivities.

Perry began dating Justin Trudeau shortly after her split from Orlando Bloom. They were first spotted on a dinner date together in Montreal in July 2025. Now they are dating. It’s a complete boyfriend-girlfriend situation.
Trudeau, who served as Prime Minister of Canada from November 2015 to March 2025, did not participate in the first World Cup match played on Canadian soil. He flew out to Los Angeles to support Perry instead.
They watched the USA together at SoFi Stadium.

Has Trudeau been radicalized by Perry? I would like to think so. USA is so much better than Canada. Why wouldn’t you want Stars and Stripes?
