After resigning as Prime Minister of Canada, Justin Trudeau was captured exiting Parliament in a playful style -- carrying a chair and with his tongue sticking out.

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau was photographed leaving the House of Commons with a chair in hand and his tongue out playfully, after meeting with the new Liberal leader and prime minister-designate Mark Carney for a smooth transition of power.

The image, which shows Trudeau with his tongue out and chair in hand, quickly went viral on social media, where it was shared widely by both supporters and critics alike.

Carney, 59, replaces Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, who announced his resignation in January but remained in power until the Liberal Party elected a new leader. Carney is widely expected to trigger a general election in the coming days or weeks.
