Steel worker goes viral for saying EXACTLY what he thinks of Justin Trudeau
A Canadian steelworker went viral after he confronted Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and told him what he thought of him to his face.
CTV News has obtained video footage capturing the awkward moment Trudeau tried unsuccessfully to win over the Algoma steelworker during a heated exchange in Sault Ste. Marie on Friday.
“The 25 percent tariffs that we just put in place are going to help you … that’s going to save your job,” Trudeau said. “I’m going to invest in you and your job.”
“And what about the 40 percent tax I pay and I don’t have a doctor,” the steelworker said, explaining that he also pays for his own dental insurance.
CCTV footage shows the worker refusing to shake the prime minister’s hand before giving him his say.

Video footage captured the awkward moment Trudeau tried in vain to win over the Algoma steelworker during a contentious exchange in Sault Ste. Marie on Friday
The meeting took place during Trudeau’s carefully choreographed photo op at Algoma Steel in Sault Ste. Marie, where the prime minister handed out doughnuts.
But the stern employee confronted Trudeau, telling him he was struggling to make ends meet and support his wife and children despite working full-time.
The steelworker lashed out at Trudeau, adding: “I think you’re only going to be here for another year, we won’t see you again for another year.”
“That’s what elections are for,” Trudeau said in response. “I look forward to everyone exercising their right to vote.”
“We are going to invest in you and your job,” he added.
The steelworker replied, “I don’t believe you for a second.”

The exchange went viral, with millions of Canadians cheering the employee for addressing the prime minister.
“This guy is fearless,” wrote one user on X. “He looked him straight in the eye and told them he’s a total liar and won’t be alive much longer. This is exactly what we need right now. Working class men standing up to these tyrants and not giving up.”
“This is like when your manager brings you pizza to thank you for coming out for the weekend, but with donuts and a corrupt politician,” another commented.
“This man destroyed Trudeau in less than a minute… imagine if Canada had media,” wrote a third user.
