What people are saying about Justin Trudeau’s bride-smooching kayak adventure
Two things happened during Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s kayak expedition in British Columbia’s Gulf Islands National Park Reserve on Saturday: first, he fell out of the boat, and then, for at least the second time since he was elected PM, he stumbled upon a bride and groom and took some photos with them. The internet can barely handle one Trudeau occurrence at a time. Here’s how people reacted to last weekend’s twofer:
Trudeau’s official photographer captured the moment. The PM reportedly planted no fewer than two smooches on the bride’s cheek:

A lot of people were worried about the groom’s feelings:

The guy is definitely no Trudeau, looks-wise, but we have a feeling he’ll recover:
That poor dude. For the rest of their lives together, Wifey's gonna remember that kiss from Justin Trudeau on her wedding day https://t.co/JJN0lw5Zoh

Has Justin Trudeau set unreasonably high standards for prime ministerial participation in Canadian nuptials? Someone hurry and write a hot take about this:
If Justin Trudeau doesn't kiss me at my wedding I'll consider it a failure https://t.co/U0pBUNoBcD

A few people seemed to think Trudeau’s kayak foibles were part of some elaborate game of nth-dimensional chess:
Trudeau is trolling Putin here. Putin pics with def minister. Trudeau pics w/ wedding party being human. Sweet shade https://t.co/7uUEyhb4De

While others saw a shameless self-promoter, shamelessly self-promoting:
WATCH OUT FOR TRUDEAU AND HIS KAYAK,he will do anything for a PHOTO OP!!!!

A few others saw a double standard, but come on: if Trump was photographed partaking in any physical activity other than golf, the response would be amazement, not anger.
Trudeau fell clumsily out of a kayak today. Then he paddled over to smooch a woman who just got married.
We'd be killing Trump for this…— Theodore Magnusson (@TeddyMagnusson) August 7, 2017
Is the Trudeau obsession getting a little parochial, though? Nah…

Canada: "Trudeau in a kayak, lol"
