Critics were already complaining that Trudeau is more style than substance, but he shows no sign of ditching an intensely personal style of governing, which often involves stopping for selfies with well-wishers.

Justin Trudeau(44)led his Liberals to a surprise election win last October on the back of a promise to change politics. He named a Cabinet with an equal number of men and women and dominates the media in a way few of his predecessors did.

His tastes sometimes run to the informal. On Friday, he took questions on Twitter for 45 minutes, including one about whether a hot dog was a sandwich.
“Yes. That way, when asked what you had for lunch, you can say ‘a sandwich’. Sounds waaaay healthier,” he replied.
