Trudeau: ‘Cringe’, ‘Gross’: Trudeau’s ‘creepy’ act of sticking tongue out and winking in Parliament draws backlash

In a recent incident that has added to the growing list of controversies surrounding Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, a video of his peculiar behavior in the House of Commons has gone viral, drawing widespread criticism. The incident occurred shortly after the controversy involving the recognition of a Nazi veteran during a parliamentary session.

In the video, shared widely on social media, Trudeau can be seen playfully sticking out his tongue and winking at the newly elected Speaker of the House, Greg Fergus. This unusual gesture took place as Speaker Fergus introduced Trudeau as the “honourable Prime Minister.” In a light-hearted response, Trudeau corrected the Speaker by saying, “very honourable,” followed by a wink. The video quickly gained attention, with many expressing their displeasure at the Prime Minister’s behavior.

On social media, reactions were swift and overwhelmingly negative. Users on various platforms, including X (formerly Twitter), criticized Trudeau’s actions as “childish,” “narcissistic,” and “unprofessional.” One user even remarked that Trudeau’s behavior was reminiscent of “pure cringe.” Another user questioned the need for such theatrics, stating, “This level of theater is just gross.”

Trudeau’s recent actions have raised eyebrows not only for their inappropriateness but also for their timing. It comes shortly after the controversy surrounding the recognition of a Nazi veteran during a parliamentary session, which led to the resignation of the former Speaker, Anthony Rota. Rota had initially introduced the veteran as a war hero, sparking outrage and further exacerbating the situation. This controversy had already cast a shadow over Trudeau’s leadership and his government’s handling of parliamentary affairs.

In the midst of these controversies, Trudeau’s behavior in the House of Commons has drawn renewed scrutiny and has left many Canadians questioning his conduct and the image he portrays as the leader of their country. This incident, along with previous instances of questionable behavior, has added to the challenges facing Trudeau’s leadership and his ability to effectively govern Canada.
