During a \u2064public event, Trudeau attempts to engage the\u200b steelworkers, \u200bbut one worker \u2063expresses frustration over high taxes and a lack of \u200caccess to\u2063 a doctor, criticizing Canada&#8217;s \u200d<a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/italy-offered-free-care-to-disabled-baby-indi-but-britains-socialized-nhs-is-refusing-to-let-her-live\/\" title=\"Italy offered free care to disabled baby Indi, but the UK&#039;s socialized NHS is denying her right to live.\">socialized healthcare system<\/a>. The steelworker&#8217;s direct challenges leave Trudeau struggling to respond effectively, as he \u200cregurgitates campaign slogans and platitudes\u2062 about investing in jobs and dental care.<\/p>\n<p>The\u200c steelworker remains unimpressed, pointing out the burden \u2063of taxes and expressing disbelief in Trudeau\u2019s claims of compassion towards Canadians. As the conversation escalates, the steelworker states\u200c that Trudeau isn\u2019t truly helping the working class,\u200c culminating in a refusal to \u200bshake hands with the Prime Minister. The article suggests that Trudeau&#8217;s condescending attitude\u2062 and failure to \u200daddress the\u200d real issues faced by constituents\u2062 exemplify a disconnect between politicians and the public they serve. The situation is framed as a call for \u200bmore honesty and\u200c empathy in political dialogue.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<section> <script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC4)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (REP_0)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (REP_1)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>Not long ago, politicians at least pretended to listen when a voter expressed grievances or challenged the party line.<\/p>\n<p>Today, however, if you publicly push back against lying globalist elites, they will instantly try to shame you.<\/p>\n<p>In a clip posted to YouTube over the weekend by Canada&rsquo;s CTV News, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau showed a brave and defiant Ontario steelworker what happens when you humiliate a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/google-hit-with-backlash-from-all-sides-over-soul-crushing-olympics-commercial\/\" title=\"Google Hit with Backlash from All Sides Over &#039;Soul Crushing&#039; Olympics Commercial\">globalist tyrant<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>At the beginning of the 84-second clip, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/trudeau-zelenskyy-lead-parliament-standing-ovation-waffen-ss-soldier\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Trudeau<\/a> offered donuts and shook hands with steelworkers from the Ontario-based Algoma Steel.<\/p>\n<p>One steelworker in a red shirt, however, recoiled at the offer of a handshake.<\/p>\n<p>  <script> \t\t\t\tif( ! getCookie( 'ff_subbed' ) ) if( typeof FFADS.replace_ict !='undefined' ) if( FFADS.replace_ict ) eval( FFADS.replace_ict ); \t\t\t<\/script> <\/p>\n<p>Trudeau did not skip a beat.

But the steelworker remained unimpressed.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;What about the 40 percent taxes I&rsquo;m paying, and I don&rsquo;t have a doctor?&rdquo; the skeptical steelworker asked.<\/p>\n<p>The complaint about not having a doctor despite paying exorbitant taxes stemmed from Canada&rsquo;s socialized health-care system.<\/p>\n<p>According to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fraserinstitute.org\/sites\/default\/files\/waiting-your-turn-2023-execsum.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Fraser Institute<\/a> &mdash; a libertarian-conservative Canadian think tank &mdash; the average Canadian in 2023 had to wait 27.7 weeks between a general practitioner&rsquo;s referral and a specialist&rsquo;s treatment.

But the steelworker replied that he paid for his own dental care and could not afford even that.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;You&rsquo;re not really doing anything for us, Justin,&rdquo; the steelworker flatly stated.<\/p>\n<p>This time, Trudeau seemed to stammer. He made a barely audible comment about investment and more people now being able to go to the dentist. The steelworker, however, knew exactly what &ldquo;people&rdquo; Trudeau was yammering about.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;Probably, like, my neighbor that doesn&rsquo;t go to work because she&rsquo;s lazy,&rdquo; the steelworker replied.<\/p>\n<p>That gave the globalist tyrant <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/trudeaus-justice-minister-says-pro-trump-factor-bank-account-seized-govt\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Trudeau<\/a> the opportunity he needed to virtue-signal and thereby attempt to shut down substantive dissent.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;Well, you know what, most Canadians try to stick up for each other,&rdquo; the repellent, gaslighting, condescending prime minister said.<\/p>\n<p>At that point, the steelworker walked away.

Nowadays, if you openly challenge deceitful globalist elites, they will quickly attempt to shame you. A recent YouTube clip from Canada\u2019s CTV News features Prime Minister Justin Trudeau confronting a bold Ontario steelworker, illustrating the consequences of standing up to a globalist leader. <\/p>\n<p>In the 84-second video, Trudeau greeted steelworkers from Algoma Steel in Ontario with donuts and handshakes. However, one steelworker in a red shirt pulled back from his handshake offer. Without missing a beat, Trudeau shifted into campaign rhetoric while the steelworker remained unimpressed and questioned him about paying 40 percent taxes without having access to a doctor.<\/p>\n<p>This concern about healthcare access despite high taxes highlights issues within Canada&#8217;s socialized healthcare system. According to the Fraser Institute\u2014a libertarian-conservative think tank\u2014the average wait time for Canadians seeking specialist treatment has increased significantly since 1993.<\/p>\n<p>Trudeau dismissed this healthcare complaint with vague reassurances like \u201cWe\u2019re gonna invest in you and your job,\u201d prompting an incredulous response from the steelworker: \u201cI don\u2019t believe you for a second.\u201d This visibly caught Trudeau off guard as he attempted to pivot to dental care but was met with further skepticism when the worker stated he couldn\u2019t afford it.<\/p>\n<p>The exchange continued as Trudeau made generic comments about investments leading more people being able to visit dentists; however, the steelworker pointed out that those &#8220;people&#8221; likely included individuals who were not contributing productively\u2014like his neighbor whom he described as lazy.<\/p>\n<p>Seizing on this moment for virtue signaling, Trudeau claimed that most Canadians support each other before the steelworker chose to walk away and again declined his handshake.<\/p>\n<p>An honest politician might have acknowledged these grievances by saying something like \u201cYou\u2019re overtaxed and our system is inefficient; we need improvement.\u201d Instead, Trudeau implied that those who benefit from tax revenues are freeloaders while framing dissenters as lacking compassion\u2014essentially suggesting that such tactics help maintain their democratic image while stifling genuine opposition.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s time for populists globally to distance themselves from condescending figures like Trudeau. The calm yet defiant demeanor exhibited by this Canadian steelworker serves as an encouraging example of how resistance can begin<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2335569,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/trudeau.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[33651],"tags":[14096,32700,39911],"class_list":["post-2335568","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-the-western-journal","tag-confrontation","tag-justin-trudeau","tag-steelworker"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/trudeau.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2335568","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2335568"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2335568\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2335569"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2335568"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2335568"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2335568"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
