Former Canadian prime minister Justin Trudeau popped into a hardware store in Montreal\u2019s Little Portugal with Katy Perry over the weekend and recorded a dance video.<\/p>\n
In the video, a sunglassed Trudeau announces \u201cin the Home Hardware on St-Laurent St.\u201d (sic) as he dances. Perry, who appears to have been filming, makes a brief, head-nodding appearance.<\/p>\n
Son Xavier Trudeau, who performs as Xav, posted the video to his Instagram on Sunday in support of his new single, Downtown.<\/p>\n
About that new single, Kevin Pereira of Quincaillerie Azores\/Home Hardware told The Gazette that Xav\u2019s song happened to play on the radio while the pair were in the store on Saturday.<\/p>\n
\u201cThey just popped in randomly by themselves with one security guard who stood in the front,\u201d he said. \u201cThey went about their shopping (and) spent about 45 minutes here.\u201d<\/p>\n
Said shopping \u2014 or at least the dance break therein \u2014 involved a toilet plunger and assorted homewares.<\/p>\n
\u201cCost of living so bad the former PM shops at Home Hardware,\u201d one commenter joked<\/a>.<\/p>\n \t\tEditor\u2019s Picks\t<\/p>\n After leaving office, Trudeau purchased a $4.26-million home on the northern flank of Mount Royal in Outremont<\/a>.<\/p>\n He has also been repeatedly spotted around the city with Perry, from their first outing at Le Violon a year ago<\/a> to Perry\u2019s Lifetimes Tour stop at the Bell Centre<\/a> to a more recent trip to a yoga studio on St-Laurent Blvd.<\/p>\n Perry, a 13-time Grammy nominee, also appears to be acting as a sounding board with Xav\u2019s budding music career.<\/p>\n
