Justin Trudeau builds a pillow fort with kid, makes our hearts burst

Oh Justin Trudeau, is there anything you can't make stupidly charming?

The Canadian prime minister did the coolest thing with a young contest winner, and we're super jealous about it. Five-year-old Bella from Thompson, Manitoba was the lucky winner of CBC Kids' "Prime Minister for a Day" contest.

As acting prime minister, she got to do whatever she wanted. And what did she do on her special day? Build an awesome pillow fort in Trudeau's office with the prime minister himself.

It doesn't look like this is Trudeau's first pillow fort-building rodeo. With Bella's help, he strategically places an office couch cushion on top of two wooden chairs, and drapes a blanket (covered in maple leaves, of course) over the top of the structure for shelter. He takes this task seriously because this is certainly a crucial part of his job.

You're a very lucky girl, Bella, and we'd think you'd make a great prime minister for your fort-building skills alone.
