Asked if the show reached out to Trudeau to voice himself in the episode, his spokeswoman Chantal Gagnon said in an email: BԪַWe respectfully declined their offer.BԪַ

The episode, which will air on City in Canada, sees Lisa mistakenly given political asylum in Canada during a family trip to Niagara Falls.

Tim Long, a Canadian-born consulting producer on BԪַThe Simpsons,BԪַ tells The Canadian Press the Trudeau character briefly talks to Lisa in the episode.

Long adds BԪַthere may be mention of a current scandalBԪַ that Prime Minister Trudeau is involved with, suggesting the episode might touch on the SNC-Lavalin controversy.

BԪַThat may be one of those things that nobody in America is going to get,BԪַ Long, who was born in Brandon, Man., and grew up in Exeter, Ont., said in a recent phone interview.

BԪַItBԪַs funny, though, because of course America got used to the idea that, BԪַWell, Trudeau is greatBԪַ BԪַ at least the liberal part of America has sort of got it in their head that, BԪַOh, heBԪַs amazing and Canadians must love himBԪַ BԪַ and I think theyBԪַre shocked to learn that heBԪַs in a little bit of trouble right now.BԪַ
