January 20, 2021, was a big day for the United States, as well as the rest of the world. And in our modern world, significant events do not pass by without hilarious content following them, which is why the newest Bernie Sanders meme blew up so hard.

As you can see, the Montreal STM clearly couldn't let a meme slip through its fingers without hopping on the bandwagon.

This time, Mr. Sanders finds himself all alone in a Montreal metro cart — looking a little sad, but maybe a smile is hidden under that mask.

Alongside his pouty facial expression and cute little mittens, the STM added "When you take the metro and you know it will be -20C on the way out."

A winter horror we've all been through.

Poor Mr. Sanders was just minding his business on Inauguration Day — clearly feeling a little chilly, too — and next thing the man knows, he's all over the internet, yet again.

But I suppose he should be grateful for all the media coverage. As they say, no press is bad press.
