Prince Harry and Prime Minister Justin Trudeau were in Toronto earlier this week to promote the launch of the Toronto 2017 Invictus Games, a competition for veteran and active armed forces members.

It seems like everyone had a great time promoting the games. We've all seen those one-armed push-ups Justin did, right?

Drake ups his fashion game for VIEWS

Drake dropped his much-anticipated album VIEWS today exclusively on Apple Music and iTunes.

In addition, the Canadian rapper included a stylish digital booklet to go with the album. We are happy to see Drake in polished suiting (which appears to be Tom Ford) for these photo shoots, as he is often spotted in his own OVO athleisurewear in candids. Drake isn't a total newbie to the fashion game, though. After all, he opened his last album Nothing Was The Same with a reference to Tom Ford's Tuscan Leather Eau de Parfume. In return, Ford named one of his lipsticks after the rapper in his Lips & Boys collection. 

Of course, this booklet wouldn't be Canadian without featuring Canada Goose bombers and shots of Toronto. 

In other news, we will be one of the first in North America to sample the artist's new whiskey, Virginia Black this summer with the help of the LCBO, so stay tuned.

PMJT Running Through The 6 (With My Woes)

thestar.com JOHN TORY VIA TWITTER 

Happy New Year! What a great way to kick off 2016, with PMJT visiting one of the most famous Canadian cities worldwide, Toronto. 

The Prime Minster met with Toronto Mayor John Tory at Toronto City Hall to discuss infrastructure and investing in the city with transit and housing. Prime Minister Trudeau also thanked the lovely welcoming of Syrian refugees from Torontonians. 

PMJT kept it pretty classic but we are happy to see some subtle sartorial touches for this visit. 

Highlights: Impeccable suit, as well as a strong black, outwear piece with what it seems to be a heavy wool or alpaca collar. 

Significance: That classic Toronto Maple Leafs blue goes hand-in-hand with this city, so it was a great nod to Toronto by having JT sport that exact hue of blue. It's important to note JT's bold argyle socks seen in a cute photo-op moment at City Hall. His socks showed off his loyal Montreal Canadiens pride through the team's subtle insignia on top. By sporting the Maple Leafs hue with the tie he wears, perhaps he is subtly showing care and concern for the city while providing a shout-out to Toronto. Many may try to pinpoint the reason why he looks like he lives here (or still represents a la Drake), and can't quite figure it out.   

Overall: Toronto is more on the conservative side when it comes to dressing, but it's done with refinement and care. Suits and power dressing are at it's finest in this country so this was a great time for PMJT to show off his polished taste.
