That's pretty fair. However, he speaks often and communicates well on a lot of subjects that have dominated the media over the last 12 months. He seems to be the intelligent voice from the other side of the discussion. As a Canadian, you'd think he'd be a regular on CBC.
His rise on YouTube, a platform generally dominated by daily vloggers and 10 minute click bait videos, is particularly interesting to me.
