Definitely some type of ground squirrel, but I'd guess something smaller than a marmot (which is just an overgrown ground squirrel, really):
LOL pic
marmot -- too broad in the skull
golden-mantled ground squirrel -- a candidate
Columbian ground squirrel -- another, especially given the background scenery

and, googling deep enough, I find the origin of the LOL pic, labelled as being a Columbian ground squirrel:

original National Geographic photo of the day page
CBC "Scene-stealing squirrel crashes Banff tourist photo"

The next candidate for a viral photo:
dog yawn

O.k., yeah, there are other important things I should be doing... even if it is Sunday afternoon!

I may be wrong (a handsome admission, if I ever heard one!) but I believe that's not a squirrel but a marmot.

Crikey, our squirrels are nowhere near that big - they must have remarkably large nuts in Canada.

It never fails. You set up a photo shoot and some fool pulls silly faces in the background.

On their Canadian vacation, this couple encounters a LOL Squirrel!!!

(Melissa and Jackson Brandts set up the camera with automatic shutter and a third party decided to investigate the lens).
