Justin Trudeau CONFRONTED by Ontario steel worker: ‘I don’t believe you for a second’

One steel worker was not impressed with Trudeau or his policies, telling the PM, “I don’t believe you for a second.”

Karli Bonne posted on X: “Castro Jr. having a bad day.”

After Trudeau announced “We’ve got donuts over here if you want,” the steel worker approached Trudeau to confront him on his dental policy and his claims that middle class families are prospering under his regime.

“I think you're only here for another year,” the man says, to which Trudeau says, he’s “looking forward” to everyone exercising their democratic choice in the next federal election.

"I don’t believe you for a second" the worker responds, who then lights into the Trudeau government’s dental policy, which the worker says isn’t even applicable to working Canadians with good jobs.

“Do you know anyone who got dental care,” Trudeau asks. “Yeah, I pay for it myself, okay? We're like, three years behind coverage. Yeah, every time we go for a dental visit, it costs me about $50 in my pocket for everyone in the family … You're not really doing anything for us”

The worker says Trudeau is performing for people like the man’s neighbor who “doesn’t really work because she’s lazy” but who has the same standard of living as the steel worker. Trudeau extends his arm for a handshake but is rebuffed by the worker, who tells him to “have a good day."

Trudeau retreated at this point and got back on script, reminding everyone that “the other guy’s got extra donuts.”

The prime minister remains under pressure from caucus MPs to produce some evidence of change in his government or at least try a cabinet shuffle. There have been calls for him to resign since a byelection loss this summer to the Conservatives in the once-safe seat of Toronto-St.Paul. Trudeau’s Liberals remain about 20 percentage points behind the Official Opposition Conservatives.
