'Brokenist? He's breaking English language too': Opposition mocks Trudeau's Parliament speech

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau became a laughingstock at the Parliament after he said an incomprehensible word during his speech.

The incident quickly became trending on social media with Trudeau’s critics questioning his command over English. The leader was reportedly responding to a statement made by Opposition MP Pierre Poilievre who was slamming Trudeau over his track record on immigration crisis and housing affordability in Canada.

“He (Trudeau) cannot fix what he broke on immigration, housing, or anything else because he is busy fighting his own caucus. Why won’t he call a carbon tax election so that we can restore Canada’s promise where anyone who comes here and works hard can have a good life, a safe street, and a warm home?” the Conservative leader said.

To this, Trudeau responded, “Once again, we see the leader of the Opposition is pushing a ‘brokenist’ vision of Canada that is simply not aligned with the reality.”

As soon as he said the word, Opposition leaders in the Parliament erupted in laughter and Pierre said, “‘Brokenist’, it’s not even a word. He (Trudeau) is even breaking the English language.”

Trudeau’s mockery comes at a time when he has been facing mounting pressure from his Labour Party colleagues to step down. The leader’s performance both within the country and outside has been put into question. In Canada, he has been criticised for not taking action against the country’s increasing housing crisis owing to high interest rates while his handling of the India-Canada conflict has also been slammed.

On Wednesday, as many as 24 Liberal MPs wrote a letter to Trudeau urging him to step down ahead of the upcoming elections.
