Justin Trudeau's days as a drama teacher have not been wasted.  Shakespeare comes to mind.  Anyway, the prime minster's performance in Washington today was absolutely incredible and worthy of an academy award.  

No, he was great - absolutely himself - standing next to the most reviled man on the face of the planet and for once Donald Trump was civilized; to a degree. That photograph of President Trump and his father, Pierre Trudeau, at the Waldorf in New York when Trump was considerably younger was so well done.  

Many people did not think Trudeau had it in him.  Many did. Despite all his shortcomings at home, he's a great hit outside of Canada. He's made us proud.
