Some people are way too excited about pictures of young Justin Trudeau

Justin Trudeau’s status as an icon of handsomeness has been cemented a thousand times over at this point (most recently on HBO’s Girls, when a character called the PM “perfect”).

Perhaps it’s a good thing the PM doesn’t know the full extent of his power:
