Check out how our PM handles the press conference.
He's not answering questions. He's spewing Liberal Party platitudes for benefit of the home audience.
Note how he wows his fan base by switching back and forth between English and French. Frankly, that's not good enough, Justin. I'd assumed you knew by now those aren't our only two founding languages.
Thanks to real-time translation, making comments in French and then saying the same thing in English is completely redundant. There was a Globe & Mail reporter on the scene, so this was Justin playing to the home audience.
Meanwhile, his Dutch counterpart, who apparently thought he was at a serious diplomatic confab, simply spoke English throughout.
For my money, where Justin really showcased his diplomatic savvy was his reminiscence, apropos of exactly nothing, of his 45 year relationship with the Queen...
What?
Get serious, dude!
