Tis a golden age of Hot Dad politicians, dear friends. And no country has struck it richer in that regard than Canada, the blessed great white north.

Canadians are rightfully enamoured with their shiny new PM in the form of Justin Trudeau, a centrist-progressive type from Canadian political royalty who just so happens to be Daddy AF (or so the internet hath decreed).

And given that their next-door neighbour is also currently being run by a (relatively) young, well-spoken, pleasant-on-the-eyes type in Barack Obama, it was a mere matter of time before they appeared in photos together and broke everyone’s collective brain.

Trudeau made his first official visit to the White House as Canadian PM, and met with Obama overnight. And the meeting went far better than anyone could have ever hoped for.

The photos – oh god, the photos. They are what literal dreams are made of.

For starters, the pair look utterly adorable together.

Even when they’re standing together on stage whilst their National Anthems play.

But things really started heating up when Obama began to speak, and you could feel the admiration that Trudeau has for him.

LOOK AT THE WAY HE LOOKS AT HIM.

The internet, upon seeing this, swooned their heads off.

The pair even got jokey very quickly, with Obama making a quip about America’s dominance of Canada’s national pastime.

If that weren’t adorable enough by itself, the pair then went into full Hot Dad mode by making nice with some nearby babies.

…but he might just have to let love free. Because we all know an OTP when we see one.

God damn it, can we rort the US Constitution to get Obama a third term, solely so we can enjoy a few more years of this?
