not kind of my shtick

[William Salmon]

I'm guessing the quotes below from Canadian Prime Minister Stephen
Harper mean the same as "not my kind of shtick". I can't recall ever
hearing this word order though.

"I've got to say that meeting celebrities isn't kind of my shtick, that
was the shtick of the previous guy."

"I hope we do it at some point but my principle focus in public policies
is not kind of to meet celebrities," added the prime minister, a
Conservative."

The two quotes come from a very short Reuters article:
