Steelworker goes viral for saying EXACTLY what he thinks of Justin Trudeau
A Canadian steelworker has gone viral after he confronted Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and told him 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's what elections are for,' said Trudeau in response. 'I look forward to everyone exercising the 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 has gone viral, with millions of Canadians cheering on the worker for speaking up to the Prime Minister.
'This guy is fearless,' one user wrote on X. 'He looked him straight in the eye and told em he's a massive liar and won't be around much longer. This is exactly what we need right now. Working class men standing up to these tyrants and not backing down.'
'This is like when your manager brings pizza to thank you for coming in on a weekend, except with donuts and corrupt politician,' another commented.
'This guy destroyed Trudeau in less than a minute… imagine if Canada had a media,' a third user wrote.
