Sure, running a country probably takes up a lot of time, but Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau isn’t one to skip out on Halloween.

And while his most recent costume might not be very spooky, it does have Canadians laughing.

After previous years of dressing as a pilot from “Le Petit Prince” and trying to pull off his best Han Solo, people think this year’s costume may be his most relevant.

Trudeau dressed up as Sherlock Holmes, alongside his family of ghouls and one unicorn. But it’s not the costume that is in the spotlight – it’s the pipe.

Stepping out in the costume just two weeks after marijuana was legalised in Canada, some Canadians have made some pretty funny quips about the PM’s pipe.

Click through the gallery to see more of the PM’s Halloween costumes over the years.
