Lots of criticism about Trudeau watching the play in NYC rather than Toronto.  It is naive to think that Trudeau went to NYC to watch the play.  He went to NYC to engage with the US and other international players (via the UN) and the play was the excuse.  And his introduction was a way to engage in thoughtful dialogue with those players...dialogue around the importance of strong US Canada relations, highlighting the role of a local community in helping those in need, and reflecting on Canada's approach and priority on the International stage.  Well done Justin.  You did Canada proud.

And to those thinking that the play was a celebration of Canada letting the planes land.  That is not the point.  The point is how the community dealt with an influx of people that represented more than 50% of the town's population overnight...and the human interest stories that naturally result from that type of external event.  Very powerful play with highly positive reviews in every host city to date.
