ST. JOHN’S, N.L. – The prime minister’s visit to Atlantic Canada has already included one shirtless selfie – but this time, Justin Trudeau is the photobombee rather than photobomber.

Trudeau made international headlines recently with two shirtless photos, the latest while taking a break from surfing and simultaneously photobombing a couple getting married on a Tofino, B.C., beach.

Reporting on the same Quebec encounter, American online news provider Mic called shirtless Trudeau “one of Canada’s most prized national treasures.”
