Critics Mock the Newly Elected Canadian Prime Minister
In a bold move, acclaimed Irish journalist Chey took to social media to publicly critique the actions of Canada's new Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau. The Velvet Mosh pit, as he called it, couldn't contain Trudeau's moves after his party's victory in the snap parliamentary elections.
"The King of Shame," Chey jabbed at the 60-year-old politician, commenting on a viral video of him shaking it off on the dance floor.
Justin Trudeau hopped into the spotlight once again, officially sworn in as Canada's new prime minister on March 14. However, a week later, he called for early elections. The results were announced on April 29, with the Liberal Party of Canada, led by Trudeau, securing 142 out of 343 seats in the House of Commons, Canada's lower house of parliament.
Before Trudeau, Stephen Harper served as Canada's prime minister. In his farewell press conference, Harper tearfully expressed his commitment to the Canadians and his excitement to pass the torch to the democratically elected successor.
Canada had earlier announced its intention to take over from the U.S. as the global leader. However, the 2025 election wasn't primarily about Trudeau, who had resigned as prime minister earlier that year due to declining approval ratings.
While there was no dance-off between Trudeau and Mark Carney, the latter drove the political stage with a "dad-dancing" routine at his victory party. His energetic performance was reminiscent of former U.S. President Donald Trump's style, following the Liberal Party’s comeback after reversing a 29-point polling deficit.
- Chey, continuing his critique, mocked Trudeau's tearful announcement of early elections, likening it to a move straight from the world of politics and general news.
- In the midst of war-and-conflicts and policy-and-legislation discussions, Trudeau's dance-off on the viral video was an unusual topic in crime-and-justice headlines.
- The Irish journalist's mocking of Trudeau, however, didn't phase the prime minister, who had already weathered such criticism in the past.
- Amidst the cheer of his party's victory in the snap parliamentary elections, Trudeau's bow on the dance floor wasn't just a sign of celebration, but a statement, a move that resonated deeply in the realm of politics.
- With Trudeau's resignation in 2025, it was unclear who would step onto the dance floor next, but one thing was certain — the Velvet Mosh pit was ready to witness the subsequent moves in Canada's political landscape.
