If this meets the definition of virtue signalling, then anything does. 

Please explain how you think it applies.

Simple, he could have made the contribution and let Noah announce it as he saw fit. Instead it was all about Justin.

So the cost of a Trudeau shout out is 50 million. I don't hate Trudeau, I just find his constant preaching and virtue signalling  tiresome and self indulgent.


This didn't cost anything - it was part of previously announced money for women and girls education.

Wait, you want Trevor Noah to announce money contributed by the Government of Canada?  And you think it's a problem that our HEAD OF GOVERNMENT announced it instead?

Well, even Kinsella said that while the cause is worthy,Trudeau's manner of announcing it was "appalling". At least one Liberal still  has some standards.

Besides, I didn't say Noah should make the public announcement, just as he saw fit on his own show. If he wants to give Trudeau a shout out, that is up to him.

BTW, if you haven't read Noah's book, Born a Crime, it's a good one.

That doesn't even make sense - your complaint doesn't make any sense.  This is money from a Canadian initiative that is the brainchild of Trudeau himself being given to a program being run by Noah.

Kinsella hates Trudeau.

So his opinion doesn't count.

The government announces the contribution. If Noah wants to give Trudeau a shout out, that's up to him, Trudeau is just using a US talk show to make himself look good. Do you brag to the world and all your friends about the charitable contributions you make?

I find him annoying, pass.  Seems like a nice guy though.

Must have been a slow news day for this to make the national headlines.

He sent a tweet and tagged him in it.  So what?

In other news, David Attenborough said we're all going to die.
