William Shatner is looking to boldly go where no spaceman has gone before — the head of Canadian parliament.
In response to a fan letter urging the Emmy Award winner to become governor general of Canada (a position currently held by Michaelle Jean), Shatner responded that he has his eye on a different governmental role.
"I must, with deepest thanks, turn down your honourable intent to advance me as governor general. Besides which, I don't have time to be governor general," wrote the Star Trek star. "My intention is to be prime minister of Canada, not governor general, which is mainly a ceremonial position."
Even though the gig is one step down from governor general, the 77-year-old actor explained that he thinks he could make a bigger impact in the country's highest office.
"As prime minister, I can lead Canada into even greater exploits," Shatner explained.
We can think of no better time than now for Canada to live long and prosper.
