Prime Minister Jason Kenny invited a special guest to the Canadian Embassy in Washington on Monday.

For years, a man named Jason Kenny from Richmond, Virginia (Twitter handle) @jasonkenney) Twitter user mistaken for a Canadian politician with the same name (Twitter handle) @jkenney).

Virginia Kenny has been doing everything well for years, as Twitter users who were dissatisfied with politicians mistakenly sent criticisms.

My Canadian Jason-Sense tingles (that is, Twitter notifications are exploding). For reference, I haven’t done it. #abpol

On May 16th, when the premiere was in Washington, DC, a pair who just crossed the path via social media actually encountered.

Prime Minister Kenny met with another Kenny at the Canadian Embassy. Then he tweeted (of course) the photo.

The premiere joked that photography should eliminate social media mix-ups “once”.

Kenny, Virginia, also sent photos to his approximately 9,000 followers. Many are Canadians who want to read his quip when he is mistaken for a premiere.

Nothing was said about what the pair had discussed at the embassy, but non-politician Kenny expressed one regret this morning as people responded to the meeting on Twitter.
