A picture of outgoing Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau carrying his chair from the House of Commons on Parliament Hill with his tongue out has gone viral on social media. Trudeau was seen coming out of the Parliament building in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada, on Monday, March 10. Trudeau met former central banker and Prime minister-designate Mark Carney, who is fresh from a landslide victory to become the leader of Canada's ruling Liberal Party and the country's next prime minister.
After meeting with outgoing PM Carney, he told reporters at the House that the meeting was long. They discussed the most pressing issues of the day, such as Canada-US relations and other matters of national security. He said the government handover would be "seamless" and "quick," and he said his official swearing-in would happen in short order.

A spokesperson for Carney announced Monday evening that the prime minister-designate divested all of his assets, other than his personal real estate, into a blind trust. The signed blind trust document was submitted to the ethics commissioner when the results of the leadership vote were announced on Sunday.
