Trudeau, and most of the Canadian left wing, is addicted to virtue signalling. Every time they hear some celebrity like Bono say something absolutely empty and meaningless touchy-feely comment like "the world needs more Canada" the virtue signallers practically blow one off in their pants from getting a pat on the head like that. It's crept into our politics and economy and is creating divisions that haven't been seen since the last Quebec crisis. Help an industry that's absolutely vital to the national interest even if most of this self-righteous country hates it? Or get a huge splash on the front page of the Toronto Star by making sure trannies are allowed into every women's washroom in the country, or by enforcing a gender balance in businesses that are and always will be overwhelmingly male? They'll always go for the latter sort of things over all other considerations. Their addiction to being seen as good means they can't help themselves.
You realize, I hope, that what you just said is also virtue signaling, just to another audience.
