Maybe this is just me projecting, but ever since Donald Trump was elected President of the United States, it seems like Canadian Prime Minister and noted impossibly good-looking person Justin Trudeau has been going out of his way to remind Americans what it's like to have one's government helmed by someone other than a bigoted social media celebrity. This elaborate months-long troll job continued on Monday, when Trudeau, paddling out on the Niagara River to commemorate World Environment Day, emerged from the flotilla of kayaks to engage in some lighthearted conversation with a pair of elated constituents:

Listen, fitness is important. But at this point, we're starting to wonder if there's anything Justin Trudeau does these days, whether in his official capacity or not, that he won't find a way to transform into an impromptu workout. Let us consider the evidence:

Important-looking meetings in well-appointed conference rooms:

Family vacations:

Imagine that you've taken your family for a hike in Quebec's lovely Gatineau Park, and while you marvel at the ancient marble cave at the park's center, the Prime Minister of Canada suddenly pops out, shirtless, and delivers the world's corniest vacation dad pep talk to his wife and children:

"It was like a 20-foot-wide round hole and Justin (Trudeau) emergedwith his family in tow and said, 'This is the moment of truth; do westop here or do we carry on?'" said Jim Godby, who was on a five-daycamping trip at the park last week.

This is not an isolated incident, by the way. Justin Trudeau objectively hates clothes.

"BOOM!" he yelled triumphantly, as the competitive spirits of the athletes surrounding him were quietly extinguished once and for all.

Justin Trudeau is like Ridiculously Photogenic Guy, except he also attends G-7 conferences.

Official travel:

"Oh, did I just jog through a group of visibly delighted cool teens getting ready for prom? What a funny coincidence, and something I definitely did not do on purpose in the hopes that I'd be recognized! What are the chances! Anyway, yes, of course I'll take a picture with all of you. What filter are you using?"

Summits with important world leaders:

In June of last year, Trudeau used some down time during the North American Leaders' Summit to throw on some tastefully thigh-exposing running shorts and go on a friendly jog with Mexican president Enrique Peña Nieto through the streets of Ottawa.
