How dare he educate himself on the subject of his government's funding?! /s
P.S: I didn't mean to be snarky. Any politician that educates himself to even appear smart , instead of trying come off as anti-intellectual "joe six-pack" or simply a spin master (see: Trudeau's predecessor) is progress to me.
You don't think him reciting a canned script made to give the impression of expertise and closing with "I could talk about this for ages..." is deceptive?
He was talking like he was well-versed in the subject, when he had really just read some cliff notes.
Nobody could watch the clip and thing Trudeau is actually an expert in quantum computing. He was clearly joking about being able to talk about it for ages.
He came across as an intelligent and funny politician who had made the effort to at least develop a modicum of understanding for something he's funding. Nothing more and nothing less.
I didn't take the "I could talk about this for ages..." to mean he knew everything about it, merely that this is something he found interesting enough to talk (to people) about for ages.
