If you want to know what to do when a journalist gets sarcastic, you – yes, you, Jacob Zuma – should take a page out of Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s book.

When Trudeau visited the Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics in Ontario, Canada, there was much anticipation. Speaking to a crowd of 200 students and an array of journalists, Trudeau affirmed a budget announcement of $50 million for the think tank.

It’s extremely important to underline just how essential the work being done here is, not just for Canada but for the entire world.

The investment we’re announcing today will strengthen the Perimeter Institute’s position as a world-leading research centre in helping advance Canada’s role as a leader in the global scientific community.

When it came to the question and answer section one journo got a little snarky, but Trudeau put him in his place, answering a question on quantum computing, much to the approval of the audience.

Not just a pretty face, hey.
