A photographer captured a moment when Justin Trudeau was carrying his House of Commons chair out of Parliament Hill, a symbolic gesture signalling his tenure's closing.

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

It should be noted that as per parliamentary rules, an outgoing MP can purchase a replica of their chair in the chamber.

It is also worth mentioning that the former head of the Bank of Canada, Mark Carney, will soon begin performing the duties of Prime Minister.
