Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, while defending his government's immigration policies in Parliament on Wednesday (Oct 23) became the butt of jokes for using a made-up word "brokenist".

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, while defending his government's immigration policies in Parliament on Wednesday (Oct 23) became the butt of jokes for using a made-up word "brokenist". What happened? Trudeau was defending his party's record on immigration when Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre seized the opportunity to lambaste the Canadian PM, linking immigration issues to Canada's ongoing housing crisis. Mocking Trudeau for his strained relationship with his own party, he commented, "cannot fix what he broke because he's busy fighting his own caucus." NDP-Liberals broke Canada's immigration system with their incompetence. pic.twitter.com/q58SgwtuNd — Pierre Poilievre (@PierrePoilievre) October 23, 2024 × In response, Trudeau used the term "brokenist," suggesting Poilievre was promoting a vision of a broken Canada. Also read | Justin Trudeau's leadership in jeopardy as his own party MPs ask him to 'resign by October 28' "Once again, we see the leader of the Opposition is pushing a 'brokenist' vision of Canada that is simply not aligned with the reality," said Trudeau. To this, Poilievre quickly retorted with a smirk, "It's not even a word," drawing laughter from the chamber. "He (Canadian PM Trudeau) is even breaking the English language," said the laughing opposition leader addressing House of Commons Greg Fergus. Netizens mock 'brokenist' leader Trudeau's use of the word ignited a meme frenzy on social media, with users mocking him for breaking not just policies, but the English language itself. One user on X (formerly Twitter) quipped, "From the most "brokenist" PM Canada has ever had," while others chimed in with sarcastic jabs including one user who said Trudeau was a "walking puddle of brainless mush". “Brokenist” this guy is walking puddle of brainless mush. 😂🤣😂 https://t.co/9TIYY1PrRt pic.twitter.com/6UyGKCQpoa — Kevin Pacitti 🇨🇦🇮🇹🇬🇧 (@kpac_15) October 23, 2024 × From the most “brokenist” PM Canada has ever had. 😂 pic.twitter.com/IfJpdmto1y — Josh Ryan 🍁🍎 (@joshryanjames) October 23, 2024 × Check out other sarcastic takes on Trudeau's slip here: Justin's brain might be the "brokenist" brain in the whole cabinet 😆.
