Justin Trudeau slammed for 'insufferable' excuse after missing Canada's opening game to watch girlfriend Katy Perry sing instead

Justin Trudeau continued to take the heat after the former prime minister explained why he missed Canada's World Cup opener to go watch girlfriend Katy Perry sing at the US team's opener instead.

Trudeau, who served as Canadian PM from 2015 to 2025, was nowhere to be found at Canada's 1-1 draw against Bosnia and Herzegovina, the nation's first home game at a World Cup in its history.

He made it clear in a post to social media that he was still a Canadian through and through but wanted to support his new beau.

'Sometimes supportive boyfriend duties call. But you know who I’m rooting for to take the Cup,' Trudeau wrote.

Many continued to criticize and make fun of Trudeau over the decision on X Saturday night.

'Just last year you told people to boycott the US because of the big bad orange man but here you are, hanging at Coachella (using plastic products your party banned), shopping in NYC with your untalented son and now cheering US soccer. Hypocrite as usual,' wrote one.

Another called Trudeau 'still insufferable.'

The 54-year-old even got some stick for referring to the multiplatinum pop star as his 'girlfriend.'

'That's disgusting! Boyfriend at this age, you have big kids bro!'

Trudeau has three children with his ex-wife Sophie.

One person on social media said he related to Trudeau, writing: 'I know the feeling bro.'

What a clown. Either she’s just a beard, or will be done with her fling with him in no time anyway.

“Beau” is the masculine singular in French and usually refers to a boyfriend. Perhaps appropriate here considering this clown.

He’s no longer Canada’s PM. He should be left to rot where ever he wants.

Oh come on. Who wouldn’t rather doink Katy Perry than watch soccer? People need to get over themselves.

I must say, Alanis did a great job with the Canadian anthem.

And we got stuck with Katy Perry.

I could care less about Trudeau but I disagree that a man should be pooped on because he chose to go support his girlfriend singing. Ridiculous! Now, if he was still prime minister of Canada that’s different!

It’s about his hypocrisy.

Gotta represent Canada.

Otherwise, Trump is right and Canada is not a real country anyway.

Canada’s 1-1 draw against Bosnia and Herzegovina,


The score is why I find it difficult to become a soccer fan.

USA 4

Paraguay 1

Probably their best game ever in modern World Cup history.

I loved that Qatar tied the Not-Really Swiss team at the last minute.

Trudeau is gay... Katy is gay too... So they are together for what purpose?

That first half was amazing.

Australia looks pretty good, too. Shocked they beat Turkey.

Of course they imported some African players of their own.
