Canadian Parliament bursts into laughter after Trudeau's 'brokenist' blunder

Gulf Today Report

The entire Canadian Parliament burst into laughter when Prime Minister Justin Trudeau used "brokenist" word to describe Opposition leader Pierre Poilievre’s policies.

Trudeau said, “Opposition leader Pierre Poilievre is pushing a 'brokenist' vision of Canada.”

Poilievre said, "Brokenist is not even a word. You are now even breaking the English language"

Everyone started laughing and mocking Trudeau, including some of his own cabinet members.

Some lawmakers in Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's own Liberal Party asked the leader not to run for a fourth term Wednesday, handing him one of the biggest tests of his political career.

Three Liberal members of Parliament said they were among a total of 20 plus lawmakers from the party to have signed a letter asking Trudeau to step down before the next election. There are 153 Liberals in Canada's House of Commons.

"He has to start listening, listening to the people,” said Ken McDonald, a Liberal Member of Parliament from Newfoundland who said he signed the letter, which has not been made public.

McDonald, who is not running again, said some of his colleagues who plan on running are nervous because of poor polling numbers. Also stating publicly that they had signed the letter were Wayne Long of New Brunswick and Sean Casey of Prince Edward Island.

Trudeau, who previously has said he plans to run again, met with Liberal lawmakers for three hours on Wednesday.

"The Liberal party is strong and united,” a smiling Trudeau said to reporters after the meeting ended. Liberals later applauded loudly for Trudeau when he addressed the House of Commons. Trudeau thanked them.

His Cabinet ministers have supported him publicly.
