May The Fourth Brings Out The Best From The Government Of Canada

The Force is strong with this one.
Michelle Butterfield

It's May the Fourth — otherwise known as Star Wars Day on the Internet — and the Government of Canada has gone all-in for marking the occasion.

Like this adorable PSA for public transportation

And this silhouette of Princess Leia with the scales of justice

The Canadian Army put together a funny video of two soldiers engaged in a lightsaber duel for the last rationed chocolate bar

Natural Resources made reference to the most unforgettable symbol of the Imperial fleet

And someone dipped into the National Archives to produce this amazing (and oh-so-Canadian) vintage gem

Several accounts tried their hand at "Star Wars" quotes

But The Force is strongest with Transport Canada, which put out this gem

Which takes you to this "recall" page

Canada's ultimate Star Wars fan, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, marked the occasion on Snapchat, showing off his R2D2 and C3PO socks ahead of his meeting with Irish counterpart Enda Kenny.

There was a time in 2014, before his days as prime minister, that a Toronto smoke shop was selling Zig-Zag rolling papers with Trudeau's face on them.

Vapor Central doesn't appear to be selling them anymore, but never fear.... (credit:Photo courtesy of Vapor Central's Facebook page.)

The makers of this JT-scented candle recreate what they think he likely smells like.

According to them?

"The Justin Trudeau-Scented Candle blends the rich scent of chai tea (because he drinks tea) with maple (because Canada). The resulting aroma screams 'hot Canadian guy' (or, perhaps, 'hot guy from Vermont')."

But maybe you're more into DIY-ing your own candles.

In that case, a New York-based company has a PMJT-scented soy candle kit, that they say is "a great scent for someone who is attracted to men or Canadians, or both."

They say it gives off a blended scent of "sweet maple, fig, and sexy musk" — whatever "sexy musk" is... Oh, and for the record, they also have a Vladimir Putin DIY candle kit, featuring a blend of sweet pine and mint. (credit:Photo courtesy of OliveHyssop)

Maybe you're the kind of fan that likes to (creepily) show your affection through your personal style.

In that case, these leggings could be for you. (There are also workout shorts and robes in the same pattern, if leggings aren't your jam.) (credit:Photo courtesy of JUST3Js)

Hold onto your hoops, because things are about to get very one-of-a-kind.

For the low (and specific) price of $78.19, you could own this embroidered portrait of the prime minister. (credit:Photo courtesy of Villamere)

Or how about this $1,900 painting of Trudeau doing a tree pose on a Canadian bill with his *ahem* stuff hanging out of his pants?

Or maybe you like to mix your politics and Roman mythology, and would splurge on this $234.59 painting of Trudeau as a faun.

For those opting for a classic, everyday way to show your love for our nation's leader, look no further than this "hey girl" lapel pin.

This Ebay seller wants you to purchase this PMJT-autographed piece of paper, but buyer beware: he's not going to tell you when and where it was signed until AFTER you buy it.

Some other fun facts the seller lists about this mystery autograph:
-It was signed on the back of an advertisement notepad piece of paper. (Probably like those ones that always appear in your mailbox from your local realtor.)
-The seller asked him to make it out "To Tom," but Trudeau didn't listen
-Trudeau apparently told the seller "it is not the time for autographs," while scrawling his signature

The icing on the weird-Trudeau-merchandise cake, however, has to be the erotica stories for sale on Amazon that appear to be loosely inspired by the prime minister and Parliament Hill.

-"Serving the Prime Minister: A Canadian Romance"
-"Pleasuring the Prime Minister: Vigorous Canadian Campaign Action"
and
-"Prime Minister (Frisky Beavers Book 1)".
