As the United States inches closer and closer to the abyss, our neighbors to the north are literally living in a land of hugs and unicorns and a hunky leader that looks like an actual Disney prince.

Below is a must-watch video of the oh-so-handsome and oh-so-approachable Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau being inducted into Gary’s Hug Club. And what, pray tell, is Gary’s Hug Club? Well, it’s a club… started by Gary the Unicorn – a character on CBC Kids – who apparently likes to hug people.

“I just wanted to ask you something,” the nervous-sounding puppet asked. “Do you want to be in my hug club?”

“Sure,” answered the prime minister without a second’s hesitation. “I would LOVE to be in your hug club, Gary.”

Sigh.

The puppet then lays out the rules: “What you have to do is give me a hug like I’ve never had before.”

Watch Justin’s wonderful response below.

Oh, Canada. Never change.
