Remember when it was just you and your friends who knew who The Weeknd was? In fact, you didnt just know who he was, you corrected people who thought he was more than one person and memorized all the lyrics to “What You Need.” Well, that was five years ago and in 2016, Mr Abel is beloved by your parents and now Canadian Prime Minister / national sex icon, Justin Trudeau.

In honor of his first state visit to the United States, Trudeau along with his wife and “friend” Weeknd attended a dinner in Washington, DC. And we can imagine it wasnt long before fellow Canadian delegators and Obama administration officials broke out into song and dance as the popular singer serenaded them with sweet words about being a horrible lover before smugly singing about “white lines” near the White House.

Look how picturesque this moment is. This when the House of Balloons finally collided with the House of Commons. The Weeknd is in rare happy form. Trudeau is in usual sexy form. Canada needed this.
