  1. Did you notice Modi sitting down at the 0:19 second mark with the “Bharat” nameplate? I just read where he wants the world to refer to India as “Bharat” from now on, like it’s some kind of preferred pronoun or something. Um, “Third World Hellhole” maybe. But I’m definitely not taking orders from you as to how identify your country. Sorry champ!

    1. It sounds a lot like Borat, so maybe it actually fits. But on principle I agree with you, the names are: Bombay, Peking, Ceylon none should care what they want to be called.

    2. One Earth, One Family, One Future?

      Yet every one of these FAILED leaders show up in the tribal garb of their far flung cultures, virtually BRAGGING about their differences … in their man-dresses, robes, and brightly colored tunics.

      No. No we are ABSOLUTELY NOT one family … not even close. And if you’re gonna print that tripe … you might start by dressing alike.

    3. India is Latin from Persian and Greek from the Indus River. (Indian – Sindhu) Who gives a shit what they want to call themselves? I speak English.

  2. Hmm. Shook hands politely, shook hands enthusiastically, or outright hugged 23 world leaders/diplomats [I may have double-counted a couple] in that promo video but someone seems to be missing.

    Hmm. Who could that have been?? Hmm.

    2. Well, unless I missed it, I didn’t see Macron, either.
      Could Waldeau and Macron have skipped the Modi hugs to instead do the brokeback french thingy?
      Hell, maybe Brokeback Obummer joined in for a perverse trifecta.

      2. Heh. I watched the video thinking “what a waste of time”. Perfect framing!

        And very good time-on-camera in the video to display his important (impotence?) on the world stage.

  7. Modi greeted El Turd, but Modi didn’t show it in his Twitter feed.

    I expect Turd’s PMO will release lots of photos of el turd and Modi to the CBC turd polishers.

  8. I thought most Indians spoke English. I am very wrong. Only 11% speak English. 57% speak Hindi, even though it is the mother tongue of only 44%. A huge majority for Hindi speakers.

    Now I understand why Hindu Nationalist PM Modi is pushing hard and calling his nation Bharat and speaking Hindi, not English at the G20. Ot only is it a stand against perceived US and European Colonialism, but he gets street credit with the BRICS leaders.

      1. Churchill had predicted that if England quit India Muslims would be back in power as prior to the raj.

  9. CP24/CTV chyrons in butt-covering mode:

    Trudeau doesn’t have formal meeting planned with Indian P.M.

    P.M. Trudeau and Modi to speak briefly on the sidelines of G20

  10. They seem to have a nice array of snacks at each seat. One notices that none of the little glasses are filled with bugs.

  11. Off camera, India is looking for lots of metallurgical coal for their industrialization / improvements. Canada has lot of MET coal. But that doesn’t look good, so pan away and don’t talk about it.

    1. There’s no economic case for any resource extraction in Canada. In fact, there’s no economic case for Canada. Hence, the post-national nation state thingy.

  12. Put on taj-mahal socks and do a bollywood dance, Joostaihn.

    After all, being a dink got you some coverage last time.

  15. In Bombay, all the kids are singing:

    Oh where oh where has our Waldeau gone
    Oh where oh where can he be
    With his pecker so short and his Sophie gone
    Oh where Oh where can he be
