I didn't say it's his only influence, but based on what I've read about him I doubt his intellectual depth extends much deeper than that. He's certainly not his father's son.
I just think things like this (and appearing on Regis & Kelly show, Rolling Stone etc.) are representative of the superficial nature of Trudeau's premiership. Many Canadians are okay with this, and that's fine, but I miss the days when prime ministers earned their positions based on merit.
