Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney posted on X on Friday, greeting former President Barack Obama, which drew a lot of attention.
"Welcome back to Canada, President @BarackObama.
Thank you for joining us in Toronto for important conversations on how we can build a better and more just future — and empower more people to build with us."
It even had a music track.
That prompted many on social media to wonder what Obama was doing meeting with Carney, since Obama is no longer in government. Carney seemed to be implying they were somehow working on something to "build a better and more just future."

"The 44th president is set to headline Canada 2020's gala at the Fairmont Royal York. [....]
The Canada 2020 event, which is not open to media, will mark his second visit to Toronto.
The think-tank says it aims to advance policy thinking to "drive a more just, inclusive and forward-thinking Canada."
