<p>Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's tense exchange with a steelworker is going viral across North America, The worker told Trudeau that policies of his government have left his family struggling to make ends meet.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The footage of the exchange from a city in Ontario has surfaced on social media. In the video broadcasted by the CTV News, a worker declined to accept Trudeau's offer for doughnuts as he went on to complain about the high taxes and raised medical bills.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"The 25 per cent tariffs we just brought in is going to help you out … that's going to keep your job," Trudeau told the man.</p>

<p>"What about the 40 per cent taxes I am paying? And I don't have a doctor," the employee of Algoma Steel replied.</p>

<p>Trudeau told the man about a purported multimillion-dollar investment from the Canadian government that he claimed would ensure he would have a job "for many years to come". The man then said that Trudeau would be voted out.</p>

<p>"That's what elections are for," Trudeau said.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"I look forward to everyone exercising the right to vote. … We are going to invest in you and your job."</p>

<p>"I don't believe you for a second," the steelworker replied.</p>

<p>After Trudeau pointed to his government's initiative to help Canadians get dental care, the worker said that he believed unemployed Canadians had better access to affordable health care than he did. "Probably like my neighbour who doesn’t go to work because she’s lazy?" the steelworker asked.</p>

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's tense exchange with a steelworker is going viral across North America, The worker told Trudeau that policies of his government have left his family struggling to make ends meet. The footage of the exchange from a city in Ontario has surfaced on social media. In the video broadcasted by the CTV News, a worker declined to accept Trudeau's offer for doughnuts as he went on to complain about the high taxes and raised medical bills. "The 25 per cent tariffs we just brought in is going to help you out … that's going to keep your job," Trudeau told the man. "What about the 40 per cent taxes I am paying? And I don't have a doctor," the employee of Algoma Steel replied. Trudeau told the man about a purported multimillion-dollar investment from the Canadian government that he claimed would ensure he would have a job "for many years to come". The man then said that Trudeau would be voted out. "That's what elections are for," Trudeau said.

"I don't believe you for a second," the steelworker replied. After Trudeau pointed to his government's initiative to help Canadians get dental care, the worker said that he believed unemployed Canadians had better access to affordable health care than he did.

<p>Hvaldimir, the beluga whale that captured global attention after being spotted wearing a mysterious harness in 2019, was found dead on Saturday (Aug&nbsp;31) in southwestern Norway. The discovery was made by Sebastian Strand, the founder of the nonprofit organisation Marine Mind.</p>

<p>Strand found the whale’s lifeless body floating near Risavika.</p>

<p>Although the cause of death remains unknown, Strand noted markings around the whale that could have been caused by birds or other marine animals.</p>

<p>"It’s heartbreaking," Strand was quoted as saying by the New York Times. "He’s touched thousands of people’s hearts just here in Norway."</p>

<p>Efforts are underway to preserve Hvaldimir’s carcass for further examination in hopes of determining the cause of death. The whale was estimated to be nearly 14 feet long and weighed approximately 2,700 pounds.</p>

<p>Hvaldimir first made headlines in 2019 when he was spotted in northern Norway, wearing a harness that seemed designed to hold a camera.</p>

<p>The harness bore an inscription linking it to St. Petersburg, fueling speculation that Hvaldimir might have been trained by the Russian military for reconnaissance purposes. Despite these speculations, Russia has never claimed the whale.</p>

<p>However, if Hvaldimir had been a spy, he was an unusually friendly one. The beluga showed the signs of domestication and was notably comfortable around humans, often staying in busier waters that are not typical for his species, which usually inhabit remote Arctic regions.</p>

<p>"He was completely acclimatized to human culture," Strand said, suggesting that the whale had likely spent much of his life in captivity.</p>

<p>Over the years, Strand and his team at Marine Mind worked to educate the public and protect Hvaldimir as he navigated waters far from his natural habitat.

<p>Strand had been advocating for increased safety measures for Hvaldimir, who had appeared to be in good health as recently as Friday, according to reports.</p>
