Justin Trudeau faces Prince Harry on Beard of Winter shortlist

The Beard Liberation Front, the informal network of beard wearers, has said that Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau faces Prince Harry on the Beard of Winter shortlist.

The vote for Beard of Winter is now open and will close at midday on 27^th January with the result announced on 28^th January

The campaigners say that the decision to include the Canadian PM does not reflect any view of Trudeau’s politics or life but comes after pogonophobic criticism of his new beard appeared in the Guardian:

BLF Organiser Keith Flett said, both Prince Harry and Justin Trudeau seem to have a close interest in Canada but what we are concerned with here is whether their beard has made a positive impact in public life in the past few weeks, or whether one of the other contenders is more deserving of the accolade.
