Taking inventory of Justin Trudeau's strengths vs. weaknesses and successes vs. failures over the years, it's increasingly clear that he would have been an amazing Governor General, rather than a well-intentioned but emphatically mediocre Prime Minister. He's just not an execution guy. It seems like he cares much more about the idea of good government than practicing good governance. Kind of like the gymbro who fixates on upper-body exercises Because Beach Season Is Coming, ignoring the fact that some of the largest and most important muscles are in the lower body.

Yeah this about sums up the PCs of the past 20 years, they just don't get how important optics are.

Too many Canadian conservatives (and especially big-C Conservatives) are so unimpressed, even deeply irritated, by Trudeau's obsession with optics that they forget that he is genuinely good at optics
