Toronto DJ and impressionist Lucas Meyer will voice the character of Justin Trudeau on The Simpsons. Mr. Meyers is well known in radio and media circles for his amusing imitations, most of them uncannily like the real subject. The Simpsons episode will be written by Emmy-award winning writer and Exeter, ON, native Tim Long. It deals with Simpson off-spring Lisa being mistakenly granted asylum in Canada during a family outing to Niagara Falls. The Sun says Tuesday that Long believes “there may be mention of a current scandal.” That suggests the SNC-Lavalin controversy may get some airtime. Meyer’s impressions were well-known among fellow journalists in Calgary, where he worked for local radio station, 660 News. He is now employed at Newstalk 1010.
