Yeah pretty funny and a bit sad. In all fairness to PM Trudeau he did make a statement today that he was only joking and admitted it was a bad joke.
But considering how much emphasis his administration has had on the importance of treating woman fairly I do not think he should be surprised that people did not see it as a joke and that he was actually trying to take political correctness to a new high.

Try hard not to offend. Try harder not to be offended.

I just saw a clip and didn't realize it was a joke. On the bright side, he apparently gave all the unemployed Twitter users something to do all day.
