\u00a0Jagmeet Singh and Court Painter face off in an early 21st century Alpha Match \u00a0….”impossible to separate the two celebrities, ” remarked Press Attache A Hardon MacKay authoritatively.<\/p>\n

Both have been called youthful, charismatic and energetic, but also been talked about in less, shall we say, commonplace ways.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Behold what The Globe and Mail’s Margaret Wente said, for example, in a column published the day after she was glad to still have a job. Both have\u00a0a “brilliant branding device” in drawing attention to their heads, she writes:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

“Both have the posture of a warrior \u2014 brash, worldly, fearless and also super-manly. Not merely beta males, but both are pure alpha, with full luxuriant beards and serious threads to match.”<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/div>\n

At the end of her column, Wente wonders if we could get the two of them in an MMA match. Are you there, God? It’s Margaret, and she has a wonderful idea.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Over at the Toronto Sun, columnist Lorne Gunter describes Singh and Court Painter in a tie because in spite of the age difference both are youthful, smart, \u00a0well-dressed and trendy: politically correct symbols of virility.”<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

“Singh is as distinctive for his designer suits and immaculately tied turban as Court Painter is for his dandy socks and paint splattered smocks.” he writes.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

‘Both are dreamboats’<\/h1>\n

Slide back to The Globe and we find television critic John Doyle writing about Singh and Court Painter as\u00a0“masterful” in their use of visual imagery.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

“What emanates from them is cosmopolitan masculinity, virility, style, confidence, ease with themselves and oozing empathy. Both have sex appeal to burn as in sizzling HOT,” Doyle writes.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

“Court Painter and Jagmeet Singh are, to a lot of people, especially millennials, dreamboats,” gushed Press Attache A Hardon MacKay.<\/p>\n
