As assistant to the prime minister, Tommy Desfossés is good at remembering details but doesn’t always have time to see the big picture.

That’s where LegoTommy comes in, Desfossés’s alter-ego and the star of a series of elaborately staged Instagram photos that perfectly capture the minutia of life on the road as a political staffer.

Wherever Justin Trudeau is, so is LegoTommy. The little figurine (complete with his own man purse) is often accompanied by a Lego sidekick modelled after Trudeau’s personal photographer, Adam Scotti.

The dynamic duo can be seen all over Washington D.C. for Trudeau’s latest visit to the U.S.

Here they are at outside the White House before Trudeau’s state dinner.

And there they are again at the White House podium. How do they reach the mic?

On his first day in the prime minister’s office, LegoTommy had trouble turning the doorknob.

The pair even made it all the way to Paris, where the prime minister attended a summit on climate change.

At international summits there is always official handshakes between the host and the international leaders. At the Turkey G20 meeting, they decided to have our very own official handshake.

In Toronto, LegoTommy and Legoadam got to ride a float at Pride.

While campaigning for the soon-to-be Prime Minister, LegoTommy got to reminisce about one of his favourite sports teams.

But it’s not all work and no play — on the campaign trail last fall, LegoTommy and LegoAdam even got to go canoeing!

Life on the road can get pretty lonely, but at least these two pals have each other.
