5 things to know about 'hot' Canadian P.M. Justin Trudeau
It may be cold in Canada this time of year, but the Canadian prime minister is bringing the heat to Washington.
Justin Trudeau, landed in Washington this week, marking the first official state visit of a Canadian Prime Minister in almost 20 years.
And while Trudeau and President Obama plan to discuss a wide-range of topics including ISIL and climate change, when it comes to Trudeau on social media, the only thing people really want to know is: Who is this man? And why is he so dang hot?
Here are five things to know about Trudeau:
1. This isn't Trudeau's family's first time at the political rodeo. He is the son of long-serving former Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau. In October, Trudeau led his Liberal Party to a sweeping victory over the Conservatives in October to claim the office his father held for a record number of years.

2. He's vocal about women's rights and equality for gays and lesbians. And he's not scared of the f-word.
"We shouldn't be afraid of the word 'feminist,' " Trudeau recently said during the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland. "Men and women should use it to describe themselves anytime they want."
3. He wants a Canadian woman to be featured on a bank note. In a nod similar to the push for a woman on U.S. currency, Trudeau and Finance Minister Bill Morneau recently announced that a new bank note will be issued in 2018 that will feature an "iconic Canadian woman."

5. While many are just discovering Trudeau, he's actually been #totallyadorbs since he was a child. Here's a young Trudeau at a movie as proof:
