Steel worker goes viral for saying EXACTLY what he thinks of Justin Trudeau
UK Daily Mail ^ | 09/01/2024 | Noa Halff

A Canadian steelworker has gone viral after he confronted Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and told him to his face exactly what he thinks of him.

Video footage obtained by CTV News captured the awkward moment Trudeau unsuccessfully attempted to win over the Algoma steelworker during a contentious exchange in Sault Ste. Marie on Friday.

'The 25 percent tariffs we just brought in is going to help you out … that's going to keep your job,' said Trudeau. 'I'm going to invest in you and your job.'

'What about the 40 percent taxes I am paying and I don't have a doctor,' the steelworker said, explaining that he pays for his own dental insurance as well.

The worker was seen on camera refusing to shake the Prime Minster's hand before giving him a piece of his mind.

The encounter occurred during Trudeau's carefully choreographed photo op at Algoma Steel in Sault Ste. Marie, where the prime minister was handing out donuts.

But the stern worker called Trudeau out, telling him he's struggling to make ends meet and support his wife and children - despite having a full-time job.

Taking a jab at Trudeau, the steelworker continued, saying: 'I think you are only here for another year, we won't see you around in another year.'

That worker was far more restrained than I would have been.

Trudeau went right in and called the Clinton cartel. When you need a job done call the best.

I loved it when he called the President of Canada “Justine” and refused to shake his hand.

That’s probably some sort of hate crime. Alert the Royal Canadian Mounted Police!

It’s just a shame the worker wasn’t a lumberjack.

I like the way the idiot Trudeau is offering them donuts as if HE paid for them! They paid for the donuts, Justin, you dope, and you’re offering them up like it’s something from YOU. I loathe this idiot.

'What about the 40 percent taxes I am paying and I don't have a doctor,'

Don't forget about Ontario's 9%-13% income tax.

Ontario's 13% harmonized sales tax.

Ontario 38 cents/L beer and wine tax,

Ontario 2% Employee Health Tax, with an additional $900 premium if you make over $200K,

Ontario 9 cents/liter gasoline tax,

Sault St. Marie 1.6% annual property tax

Yeah, thank Liberals, NDP and socialists all over Canada.

I wish more people acted like this with politicians. They are not worthy on honor, pretty much disdain. They should live in fear of making the right choices and voting certain ways. But we treat them like celebrities and they have no repercussions for their stupidity.

Steelworker: “I don’t have a doctor and have to pay for my own dental care.”

Justine Trudope: “What you need is a donut. Take a glazed one heaped high with sugar frosting.”

There are good people in Canada, just like there are good people in blue states.

But they’re outnumbered.
