Showing support for the LGBTQ community, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau partook in the annual Pride Parade in Toronto on Sunday. Trudeau waved rainbow flags with Canada's maple leaf, yelled his support and all around looked genuinely happy.

At one point, the parade route passed by a pot shop, and one onlooker of the parade captured this fantastic photo of Trudeau who stared right into the camera, yelling with glee with his thumb held high in the air.

Now, while Trudeau has spoke openly about his cannabis use, it's likely that he had no idea that the photo would make him look like an enthusiastic stoner bro. Additionally, Trudeau has said that although he has smoked in the past, "I’m not really crazy about it."

Regardless, he surely had a great time at the parade.

Recently, the Canadian government has said that it plans to legalize cannabis for recreational use in 2017. So maybe he'll give it another try.
