Family delighted as shirtless Justin Trudeau emerges from their cotton candy
PETERBOROUGH, ON—Will the Trudeau charm offensive ever end? 6-year-old Robbie Chestnut certainly hopes not.
Chestnut attended the annual Norwood summer fair with his parents and brothers this weekend and was enjoying a large spool of cotton candy when a shirtless Trudeau suddenly emerged from the depths of the mass. The extremely sticky prime minister snapped a couple of selfies with the shocked and delighted family before heading off to hide inside another Canadian families' plate of nachos.
According to nearby witnesses, Trudeau emerged from the confection dazed and mumbling about how his quest was "nearly complete," but the moment he saw the family, was quick to regain his composure, flashing that million-dollar smile and tousling little Robbie's hair. The beaming child exclaimed with a toothless smile, "I'm never going to wash my hair ever again!"

Even Robbie's father Walter Chestnut, a self-described "dyed-in-the-blue Conservative" had to admit that he was charmed.
"I hate the Liberals," he explained. "They're greedy, tax-raising liars. But as soon as I saw the sun glinting off Trudeau's sugar-encrusted pecs, all my criticisms melted away like the cotton candy stretched across his tanned and taut back. Have you seen his hair? His trapezoids? I'm just a man! How am I supposed to hate in the face of all that beauty?"
The only one who wasn't impressed was Heather "Grandma" Chestnut.
"I remember when politicians used to climb out of our food all the time," she shrugged. "It was just expected if you wanted to get any votes. One time I was about to eat a hot dog at this very fair and it turned out Prime Minister John Diefenbaker had been lounging in the bun the whole time. He said 'Vote Dief the Chief!' before running away with the bun which, come to think of it, I still wanted to eat."
