Former Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has been spotted in a music video for his girlfriend Katy Perry's new single, "Watch it Burn." The video features Trudeau as a backup dancer, hopping around in a seemingly awkward performance.
Trudeau's appearance in the music video comes as a surprise to many, especially considering his tumultuous tenure as Prime Minister. He served from 2015 to 2025 and was known for his divisive policies, including the invocation of the Emergencies Act during the Covid pandemic.
The Emergencies Act was used to target the truckers of the 'Freedom Convoy,' a protest sparked by the Covid vaccine mandate. Trudeau's response to the protest was widely criticized, with hundreds of truckers arrested and their bank accounts frozen.
Now, Trudeau is facing criticism for his appearance in the music video, with many Canadians expressing outrage and disgust. "There's a guy hopping through this video that froze the bank accounts of non-criminal Canadians, he banned millions from air travel and helped pay for a passport system that segregated Canadians from everyday life," one social media user said.
"Within 10 years he made Canada unrecognizable and now he walks and hops around like none of what he did ever happened or even matters. It's infuriating," another user added.
A Canadian political analyst noted that Trudeau's policies left millions of Canadians struggling to make ends meet. "Justin turned Canada into a failed state through mass immigration, attacks on free speech, and policies that left millions of Canadians struggling to make ends meet," she said.
Many are now calling out Trudeau for his hypocrisy, given his history of divisive policies and actions. "In the end, he got away with it all, and now he's jumping around like a teenager desperate for attention," the analyst added.
