Where are Trudeau's biggest (non-Canadian) fans? In Karachi, mostly
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is celebrating 2 million likes on his Facebook page today - and an interesting fact has come to light.
According to a video uploaded on Trudeau's Facebook page, the greatest number of his non-Canadian followers hail from one Pakistani city, Karachi.
Are we surprised? Not really.
Here's some reasons why Karachi thinks he's the best:
1) He gets multiculturalism the way leaders of a diverse city like Karachi ought to
Exhibit A:
Exhibit B:
2) He showed our politicians how photo ops are actually done
They don't work unless you're sincere about the cause.
Trudeau was present at the Toronto airport when the first batch of Syrian refugees were due to arrive in December last year. He stuck around to not only personally welcome them, but also make them really feel at home.
This photo op seemed more genuine and heartfelt than the standard political fare:
3) Like many Karachiites, he's equal parts fierce and gentle
He's into boxing...
..and also a baby panda enthusiast!
No wonder, he's so "level-headed"":
4) He totally rocks the desi look
And he throws a mean bhangra:
He should just be one of us.
