This really all goes back to my original point. Trudeau's international popularity is primarily a function of his being photogenic. Nothing wrong with that, but I do disagree with the assertion that we should be proud of our leader's superficiality because of it. I'd much rather praise him for something you brought up - his pragmatic approach to things like pipelines.
Trudeau is like Small Children or a Trick Pony, you trot them out to impress your friends and neighbours but when theres real work to be done you put them away because they're not going to help.
