Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has made the cover of Rolling Stone magazine's August issue and heads are turning.
The overall glowing story by writer Stephen Rodrick calls Trudeau "a progressive, rational, forward-thinking leader" who "overcame tragedy to become Canada's prime minister", such as the death of his younger brother Michel who was killed in an avalanche and the death of his father, former Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau.
On the front cover, Trudeau is pictured with the words "Why can't he be our President?" He stares intensely with a slight smile as he leans against a dark glossy table.
The photos are paired with a lengthy profile, with the usual comments about his hair (which Rodrick writes is "a color found in nature"), his appeal to young Canadians and how he's a self-proclaimed feminist

This leads up to Rodrick's comparison of Trudeau and U.S. President Donald Trump's stances on abortion, pot legalization, climate change, and Russia.
"Trump's son met with Russian nationals who promised dirt on Hillary Clinton. Trudeau's foreign minister is Chrystia Freeland, a Canadian of Ukrainian descent who is banned in Putin's Russia," writes Rodrick.
"Justin Trudeau is trying to Make Canada Great Again. He is using, let us say, different methods."
Trudeau tells Rodrick that while he disagrees with Trump "on a whole bunch," the pair have "a constructive working relationship."

Trudeau adds that going out of his way to "insult the guy or overreact or jump at everything he says (that) we might disagree with is not having a constructive relationship."
There is some critique of Trudeau's government towards the end of the article, such as "getting hammered by the right wing" for Omar Khadr $10.5 million settlement as well as broken campaign promises on electoral reform and the lack of improvement on the quality of life for Indigenous people.
Some, not as excited about Trudeau's cover, took to Twitter to say they'd happily offer him up to the U.S.
"He's exactly socks-and-selfies deep. If that's your dream leader, please take him," tweeted Andrew Scheidl.
"Oh for the love of…will you PLEASE knock it off. Hope for the free world? Yeah, he's a regular super hero. Stop" tweeted Mike O'Hara.
Others displayed their happiness with the Prime Minister.
"He knows what he doing. True North Strong and Free." tweeted Janis Sexton.
"Excellent article. Hater's heads exploding," tweeted another.
