Nobody could watch the clip and thing Trudeau is actually an expert in quantum computing. He was clearly joking about being able to talk about it for ages.

He came across as an intelligent and funny politician who had made the effort to at least develop a modicum of understanding for something he's funding. Nothing more and nothing less.

I didn't take the "I could talk about this for ages..." to mean he knew everything about it, merely that this is something he found interesting enough to talk (to people) about for ages.

It was a joke.

Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by humor.
