International Affairs – Welcome To The Magical Friendship Squad! http://michaelmurray.ca Michael Murray Writes Things Wed, 26 Jul 2017 20:22:12 +0000 en-US hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.5.2 Trudeau Fan Fiction http://michaelmurray.ca/trudeau-fan-fiction http://michaelmurray.ca/trudeau-fan-fiction#respond Wed, 26 Jul 2017 20:22:12 +0000 http://michaelmurray.ca/?p=6496  

As many of you know, I grew up in the same part of Ottawa as Canadian Prime Minister and Rolling Stone Cover Boy, Justin Trudeau.

Although I was a few years older, our paths still crossed many times, and even if we’re far from good friends, we have an amicable, nodding relationship that has well positioned me to assist him and the Liberal party in the creation of a series of Justin Trudeau romance novellas.

What follows are excerpts from some of the books:

****************************************************

Book Title: Never The Same Way Twice

His fame and internationally renowned good-looks made it hard for Justin to live the simple life he so often craved. Sure, he got a lot of satisfaction from being the most influential man on the planet, photobombing wedding shots and ministering to refugees, but what he really missed was just rocking out at concerts like an average Canadian, an average Canadian who was lucky to live in the second best country in the world, according to U.S. News & World Report.

But tonight, tonight Justin was going to let the world save itself.

Disguised as a relatively plain Canadian– but for his fantastically lithe and toned body– Justin was going to let loose at the big Blue Rodeo concert.

It had been a long time since he’d rock n’ rolled.

It’s funny how two lives might entwine, and little did Blue Rodeo super fan Brenna Macdonald know, as she took the number 95 OC Transpo bus in from Orleans to catch the show, that her life was about to be forever altered.

 

Book Title: A Song Of Ice And Fire And Good Governance

Sansa’s heart was racing, galloping so hard that she was sure he must hear it. He took her chin in his hands, his hands made so strong by all the beautiful planks he regularly executed, and raised her lips toward his. At that moment he ceased to be Justin Trudeau, the widower Prime Minister of Canada, the lost Parliamentary Democracy of Westeros and only hope in the battle against the White Walkers, the White Walkers who had taken his bride, and he became something else. He became a vessel of passion.

Je veux faire un amour doux mais ferme envers vous, ma reine,” he said to her in his mystical language, as he pulled her to him.

She could feel his manhood pressing against her, his lips now so passionately, so respectfully, on hers, and her release was so great that Sansa felt as if she was marble melting under the light.

 

Book Title: For Love Of Country

It was the best Pride parade that Toronto had ever seen, and the joy of Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau as he marched the streets– his white shirt soaking wet and clinging to his smooth body from all the water gun fights– was infectious. Sal, like everybody else, could not stop smiling as he watched from the crowded sidewalk. And then, as if a divine hand had ordained it, Justin’s eyes locked with his. The free-spirited and inclusive leader of a great nation beckoned for Sal to join him on the street, and immediately security parted the sea of people to make way for him. Sal, in a wheelchair and impotent since the mortar explosion in Kandahar, rolled out to him. The Prime Minister asked for permission, and then playfully sat on his lap and put his arm around him as they proceeded down Church Street and into a future neither one of them could have imagined.

My intersection with the TV show Nikita http://michaelmurray.ca/my-intersection-with-the-tv-show-nikita http://michaelmurray.ca/my-intersection-with-the-tv-show-nikita#comments Wed, 14 Nov 2012 17:44:47 +0000 http://michaelmurray.ca/?p=2853 Tuesday around lunchtime our doorbell rang. This sent the dog into an explosion of hysterical and frantic barking. I picked her up under my arm like a football and opened the door to find a woman standing there holding a green sheet of paper. The first thing I thought was that she was about to file a noise complaint based on the barking of our dog, but no, she was with the television show Nikita and was serving notice that they were going to be shooting on our street on Friday.

Me: Are you Nikita?

Woman: No, it’s just my job to hand out these notifications.

Me: Who is Nikita?

Woman: The role is played by Maggie Q.

Me: Maggie Q?

Woman: Yes, it’s her third season in the role. She leads a black ops organization in charge of hunting down rogue spies all over the world. Very thrilling and dramatic!

Me: That sounds like a job with a lot of responsibility. Am I suspected of being a rogue spy?

Woman: Well, I’m not sure, I’d have to ask Nikita.

Me: Could you do that, please. I’m going to have to juggle a few things around if I’m going to be hunted.

To my surprise the woman seemed amused and picked up her phone and called Maggie Q, the actress who plays Nikita.

Woman: Maggie, hi, it’s Janet. I’m just doing a flyer run on the street where we’re going to be shooting on Friday and a man here needs to know if you’re going to be hunting him down as a rogue spy. Yes, I think he must have a past.

Me: Let me speak to her.

Woman: Maggie, he has me hostage. He has spy skills. He’s demanding to speak to you.

The woman then handed me the phone.

Me: Maggie, what sort of assurances can you give me that I won’t be harmed during the shooting of this episode?

Maggie Q: You have full assurances.

Me: I need to know more about what’s going to be shot. I frequently take the dog for a walk and for a spy I’m surprisingly clumsy. Are you going to be kicking people or wielding a sword? I would consider those hazardous activities.

Maggie Q: Mostly, I’ll be looking sultry and intense. My hair will be messy but still sexy and I’ll be forced to point a gun at somebody. My look will suggest it hurts me more than it hurts them.

Me: (Covering the phone and speaking to the woman who was now scratching the ears of our dog, Heidi) She says she might have to kill somebody.

Woman: Well that’s unfortunate. Let me speak with her, maybe I can persuade her to change her mind. (The woman turned her back to me and there was muffled talking.)

Woman: Okay, here’s the deal, Maggie will pass on the killing if you agree to be an extra in a shot, we think an older-dad type walking his little dog down the street might be the perfect illustration of how Nikita keeps the innocent and helpless safe from the dangers of the world. What do you say?

Me: But I’m a rogue spy.

Woman: (Smiling) Oh, no, I’m sorry, but you’re so not.
