A Toronto-based company isselling the 'Dreamy Trudeau'sweater onlinefor the not-so-conservativeprice of $59.99.

And believe it or not, the sweater has beena hot sellerin Alberta, not generally known as a Liberal stronghold, a company spokesman says.

"We did some adsand we even excluded Alberta from the whole group, because we said, 'No one in Alberta would want the DreamyTrudeausweater,'" said Nicholas Montgomery, CEO of Shelfies - Outrageous Clothing.

"But it turns out that was the biggest market."

The sweaterfeatures a majestic scene: AwindblownTrudeau in a tuxedo ridesa stallionthroughlush, rolling hills with twinkling stars overhead.

"Mr.Trudeau, our country welcomes you as . . . sorry, where was I? Sorry, it seems I got lost in the glow of your sparkling blue eyes and perfectly placed hair," theofficial website description reads.

Trudeau sweater sells out

The 'Dreamy Trudeau'sweater sold out within days of hitting the website, butbuyers can still go on a wait list. However, Montgomerydoesn't believe everyone rushing to buy ithassincereaffectionfor the PM.

"I think a lot of them are buying them for their conservative friends, as a gift, as a joke, which we think is hilarious," he said.

Montgomery saysthedesign team thought long and hard about thetribute to Trudeau. But after much deliberation the stallion scene came out the winner.

"We thought about having Trudeau drinking a bottle of maple syrup . . .maybe riding a mooseor even holding a hockey stick while almost jousting it like a knife," Montgomery said.

Although Albertansarethebiggest buyers,Montgomery sayshe was surprised to see people from all around the world ordering the kitschy garment.

"We're not sure if they think it's just a good-looking guy on a horseor if they know it's the prime minister, but either way we think it's great."
