The Canadian Prime Minister came face to face with two-month-old Justin Trudeau at the Calgary Stampede on Saturday.

The boy, whose full name is Justin-Trudeau Adam Bilan, was born in May in Calgary—just a few months after his family fled Syria and were welcomed to Canada.

The boy’s parents, Muhammad and Afraa Bilan, chose the name as a gesture of thanks to the country that offered them sanctuary.

Twitter's hearts collectively melted at the sight of the encounter.

It's doubtful this little Trudeau will be the last to be named after the increasingly adored prime minister.
