Trudeau’s turn as a cover boy comes is in honor of Canada’s 150th anniversary, but people on the Internet seemed to be less captivated with the history of the North than they were with Trudeau’s cover shoot, which features the [self-described feminist](http://motto.time.com/4505692/justin-trudeau-un-speech-feminism/) straddling a backwards chair in front of a Canadian flag backdrop. While some people compared Trudeau’s casual stance to what a “cool” substitute teacher might do, others drew parallels to Michelle Pfeiffer’s iconic appearance in _Dangerous Minds_ and Coolio’s “Gangsta’s Paradise” music video. And, as might be anticipated, they all took to the web to share their thoughts and opinions on Trudeau’s memorable cover. See the best responses to Trudeau’s _Sky Mag_ cover below. Here’s Trudeau’s cover. > [](https://twitter.com/ethanklapper/status/879717548480221185) Trudeau’s stance was noted immediately. > [](https://twitter.com/twonnet/status/879718944076165121) Some noticed the interesting graphic design decisions being made. > [](https://twitter.com/twonnet/status/879718944076165121) Of course, a _Saved By the Bell_ comparison was necessary. > [](https://twitter.com/McJesse/status/879726647691423744) As was the parallel to a “cool” substitute teacher. > [](https://twitter.com/Slade/status/879718851457540096) > [](https://twitter.com/owillis/status/879719610479718402) > [](https://twitter.com/iD4RO/status/879721660529750017) However, the best comparison might have been to Michelle Pfeiffer as in Coolio’s “Gangsta’s Paradise” music video. > [](https://twitter.com/JarettSays/status/879723042796060672) Here’s to hitting the skies with Prime Minister Trudeau. > [](https://twitter.com/Tanya%5FChen/status/879723806759301121) ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4835033/justin-trudeau-sky-magzine-memes/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4835033/justin-trudeau-sky-magzine-memes/"},"headline":"The Internet Is Already Having a Meme Field Day With Justin Trudeau's Latest Magazine Cover","datePublished":"2017-06-27T18:19:34.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:44:56.488Z","description":"The cover is in honor of Canada's 150th anniversary","url":"https://time.com/4835033/justin-trudeau-sky-magzine-memes/","keywords":["Newsfeed","celebrities","viral","Canada","Justin Trudeau"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltcf7d2885c43f8d2b/6988ce9d8fd2ee446b35730f/gettyimages-684780486.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Cady Lang","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/cady-lang/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltcf7d2885c43f8d2b/6988ce9d8fd2ee446b35730f/gettyimages-684780486.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau Visits The Electronic Arts Canada Capture Lab","caption":"Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau Visits The Electronic Arts Canada Capture Lab","creditText":"Bloomberg;Bloomberg via Getty Images","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4835033/justin-trudeau-sky-magzine-memes/","name":"The Internet Is Already Having a Meme Field Day With Justin Trudeau's Latest Magazine Cover"}}]}] ```
