Avril Lavigne Meets Prime Minister Jean Chretien

Canadian Press reports Avril Lavigne made a brief stopover in the prime minister’s office to meet Canadian Prime Minister Jean Chrétien. Asked if she felt nervous to be standing next to the PM in the most powerful office in the country, Avril shrugged, but Chrétien deadpanned, “I am.” Chrétien said he likes Lavigne’s songs ‘Sk8er Boi’ and ‘Complicated’ and joked that he and Lavigne share something in common. “I read about her that she was very complicated at school,” the prime minister joked. “And I was very complicated at school, too. You know, I was telling her I was kicked out of three colleges.”
