Canada’s Prime Minister Paul Martin made a cameo appearance on Monday’s episode of Corner Gas.

The episode started with Martin making a mock address to the Canadian public, only to be interrupted by Corner Gas actor Brent Butt asking what the PM was doing.

“I’m speaking to the nation, I’m addressing Canada,” Martin said.

Butt asked the prime minister if he had to do it right then — saying CTV’s Corner Gas is given just half an hour of TV time each week.

“But what about my message?” Martin asked.

“You can do a mass e-mailing,” Butt replied. “You can ‘cc’ the nation.”

“You know, I like the way you think,” Martin said.

Butt then suggested that the prime minister could “make me minister of something.”

Martin taped his appearance during the summer in Regina.
