That silence is a sign of intelligence. Let your hypothalmus calm down.. think.. THEN speak. Don't react before your prefrontal cortex gets a chance to chime in.

My honest opinion, Justin Trudeau is on the top 10 list of the best leaders or may I say… ‘Person’. There are many hate comments against him like I have seen them, irrespective of that, we should have a pm like him. Canada is my number 1 fav country. Love from India 🇮🇳❤🇨🇦

His silence was so meaningful and so powerful.

Nice talk but I don’t think he’ll really do anything to change . Liberals will talk you up but never really do anything for you. You people calling him intelligent, looks like he was just waiting for the teleprompter to start working
