Former US President Barack Obama and Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau dined together in Montreal
Former US president Barack Obama made his first visit to Montreal on Tuesday. He gave a speech to the Montreal Chamber of Commerce, talking about everything from climate change and women's rights to the growing global phenomenon of fake news. According to
local media reports, he even tried to speak in
broken French. But what caught the Internet's attention was a picture posted to social media by Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. The picture, taken sometime
after the event, shows the two leaders deep in conversation in a restaurant. "The bromance lives on," joked one person on Instagram. #Squadgoals and #BFFGoals were among the hashtags most frequently popping up in the comments section of the picture on Instagram, Twitter and Facebook.
Posted online an hour before writing this, the picture has collected over 99,000 reactions on Facebook so far. It has been 'liked' over 69,000 times on Instagram and over 30,000 times on Twitter.
People couldn't help but wonder what the two leaders were discussing.
"Love these two leaders! So cool that they're together in such a casual environment with someone just washing dishes in the background," writes one person on Instagram.
"The bromance lives on," writes another.
According to
local media reports, the two were dining at a popular Montreal restaurant called Liverpool House which boasts of a "bustling oyster counter" and "seaside cottage charm." On it's official
website, the restaurant claims it's perfect for "for gin-tonic fueled evenings." While we can't confirm what was discussed (or drunk, to be honest), this GIF is sums up the Internet's reaction pretty well:
