Rex Murphy: Ha. But when it comes to the quick riposte and the razor-sharp reply, our nimble-tongued Justin is Robin Williams redux. “We’re going to get the bare-chested horseback riding display.” This from Trudeau to chuckles all around. Boris one-upped with real comedy gold: “We’ve got to show them our pecs.” That had the whole table in stitches. You could hear the laughter all the way to the Matterhorn. And that Vladimir Putin’s macho displays, fishing shirtless or doing judo, don’t intimidate this crowd, our brave leaders.
Some of whom only take their shirts off when boxing a senator, say. Or when going for a jog around Vancouver. Or again, instead of taking clothes off, putting all sorts of clothes on. For example, bringing a shipload of costumes to other countries — say, India — to go about that great nation for nine days “appropriating” in a Bollywood version of Sound of Music. Trudeau made history with that trip.
