Shatner's hints? Try the throwaway or the bombastic approach, but never both at the same time.
Canada's favourite captain demonstrated the techniques for Trudeau's edification. Were his renditions better than Trudeau's version? Share your thoughts in the comments below.

He looks sexy in that uniform, but <em>what is with that moustache</em>!?

Nice sweater. However, we'd like to call attention to Trudeau's blue shirt.

"I like to box!"

One of the weirdest publicity stunts ever to be performed on Parliament Hill. Even Trudeau finds it funny.

Seriously!?

Trudeau was not having a good hair day in this picture.

*Dreamy!*

Pairing fall's two "it" colours (black and white) together. Smart sartorial decision one.

Okay...

No! Just. No.

Blue shirt appearance number three.

Seriously. This moustache is killing us to look at. (Also, blue shirt appearance number four.)
<em>Credit: CP</em>
Cheese.

It is <em>not</em> okay for an MP or a Senator to wear this. Ever.

The weigh-in.

A possible future Prime Minister, folks.
<em>Credit: CP</em>
Trudeau celebrates!
<em>Credit: CP</em>
Again with the bad hair day!

There are no words. The hair. The moustache. The poorly tied tie. Why, Justin? Why!?

Blue shirt appearance number five. You bored yet?
<em>Credit: CP</em>
Adorbs!

Blue shirt appearance number six. We're starting to wonder if this is the only shade he has in his wardrobe.
<em>Credit: CP</em>
Holy flying fur!
<em>Credit: CP</em>
Really? And you may run to be Canada's next Prime Minister?

This is the Justin Trudeau hair we like.

Yay! Blue shirt appearance number seven. (That cowboy hat is appropriate, and a sartorially smart decision for the Stampede. Well done.)
<em>Credit: CP</em>
Keeping it casual. Though, Justin, we suggest you get someone to tailor your jeans (they're far too big).

And, for the grand finale: blue shirt appearance number eight. You're welcome.

DIEPPE, N.B. - On a day when Justin Trudeau's Liberal leadership bid won the support of Dominic LeBlanc — a scion of Canada's Liberal establishment...
Somehow, the media have already decided that the race for the Liberal Party of Canada's leadership is over before it has even started, with Justin Trudeau the clear frontrunner. The one issue most often cited by the media as being Trudeau's decisive advantage is his army of Twitter followers. How Twitter followers necessarily translate into votes on convention day has yet to be explained.
Let there be no mistake: Important elements within the media are attempting to create reality rather than report it. Whether this race is up for grabs or not should be dependent upon the views of Liberals, not the media.
Justin Trudeau is dangerous because he can be easily caricatured by the Conservatives and the NDP. The Liberal party will have to be incredibly careful in shaping his narrative -- his story, because if they're not, if they allow his opponents to define him, he will do horrible damage to the Liberal brand.
Does Justin Trudeau have what it takes to lead the Liberal party out of third party status and into the light, back to "natural governing party" success? "While he has impressive achievements, they don't add up to a successful leader of a major Canadian political party.
The missteps he's made will make an easy bullseye for a Conservative party that has been unafraid to stretch the truth to absurd lengths in the past. The NDP is not likely to give up the gains they have made without a fight, so attack ads from both camps are likely. In sum, Trudeau may indeed be the biggest liability the Liberal leadership contest has.
shatner, really love your post trek work, man. the best was the big giant head. anything you say and comment on always shoots up in stock so be careful.

If there's ever a prime example of a hustler who's a wizard at self-promotion, it's William Shatner, and I mean that in a complimentary way. Trudeau should pay attention.

Trudeau should try to understand the meaning of "statesman". He comes across as a self-absorbed, over-privileged dilettante at a time when Canada is looking for an honest, pragmatic leader. The 'roses, pirouettes and fuddle-duddle' style that worked for his farther is not going to cut it with the electorate today.

Ah, Bill Shatner. Fond memories as a kid of watching Star Trek in black & white in the 60's. I think he's cool. Being Canadian is a plus as I'm a huge fan of Canada. Trudeau better listen up! Shat has the wisdom to take him to the top! Has Trudeau already been to Vulcan?
shimmer_me_timbers: Ah, Bill Shatner. Fond memories as a kid of watching
LOVE Shatner and as entertaining as that is..Justin should take his advice. It is not a new idea...politicians getting advice from actors..been around a long, long time!
Mary_Newland: LOVE Shatner and as entertaining as that is..Justin should take
That was a very put-on performance. I wasn't a huge fan of him before this, but I think we can see how shallow he is after this and, more importantly, how amateurish this 'performance' was. I think that shows that he's not such a great political leader if he can't give a proper speech yet.
JennaFox: That was a very put-on performance. I wasn't a huge
His perfomance may have been a little over dramatic but his passion for this country and his idea of Canadian freedoms was good. He'll learn to deliver speeches better as time goes on.
Dogwood_Acres: His perfomance may have been a little over dramatic but
Passion & Idea hardly make the perfect candidate unfortunately. I'm biased though seeing as I don't agree with almost everything he talks about anyway.

Trudeau's third person rant will not let him rise to the top. It certainly made it clear in my mind how utterly incompetent he will be. Keep talking Justin your foot fits in your mouth just fine.

I could barely stomach watching Justin Trudeau's egomaniacal rant - I am glad HP gives us the chance to see these PHONEY politicians getting so overly dramatic - they all make my stomach turn! The world and Canada is a mess and we do not need guys like this running for leadership. I am waiting for an "unknown" person to magically appear that has wisdom,intelligence, courage and compassion to be my PM. NEXT.........
