PMO withdrew Atwal's invitation as soon as their mistake was pointed out, but the photo-ops had already taken place. There's a lot that is Harper's fault, and a lot of it was expensive.

Oh, there's no regard in which Trudeau isn't an improvement on Harper but that's setting the bar desperately low. Trudeau looks ridiculous dressing up to make fun of Indians, it's as if someone important came to Canada and dressed as a Mountie, but he doesn't look more ridiculous than Harper's hair.

Maybe they put it on the agenda because it went over so well last summer in his home riding.

Other than the fact he is a grade 'A' plonker, not much more I can say in his defence....

He seems to be a bit too into all this dressing up for a head of state. And now he's made a diplomatic faux pas with the terrorist guy? I have to say I had higher hopes for JT.

I have to admit that I don't understand this. He was elected on the basis that, while he was likely to be incompetent, he was likeable. All he has done since he was elected is confirmed such a position, hasn't he?

I didn't know that either. But when my german was developing, I used to make most nouns in my sentences plural (when possible) just to avoid the guessing game.

Trudeau is far too incompetent to be likeable. He's a laughing-stock pretty much everywhere I go on the Internet.

And probably doing irreparable damage to Canada through his incompetence.

Would you finally explain where that is most of the time?

Canada is a frozen wasteland somewhere north of America. Kind of like 'beyond the wall' in Game Of Thrones.

I'm quite surprised he has any time for running the country while he's personally involved in all this other stuff. I remember when officials would do things like arranging summits and issuing invitations, leaving leaders for the important stuff

Ah, ok. My irony filter seems to be set on high at the moment. I don't really know how JT is doing as I don't follow the Canadian news much, all I see is him prancing around in this silly outfit or that, and generally trying to appease everyone in the country and the world. He seems a bit more style than substance, but perhaps that's not the case.
