Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe and Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau met up in Ottawa earlier this week, which pretty much just resulted in a pleasant press conference about their countries' "tremendous friendship"
But much more importantly, Abe picked up a wooden door knocker in the shape of Canada's signature beaver, and could hardly wait to nail it to his front door. Please, watch Abe take on some light home improvements in a pink button-down, and watch his wife Akie Abe test out its satisfying knock. You won't be disappointed. Kathryn Krawczyk
