Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau recently sparked laughter in Parliament by using the term “brokenist” while defending his government’s immigration and economic policies. Opposition leader Pierre Poilievre seized the opportunity to attack Trudeau, asserting that he “cannot fix what he broke” regarding immigration and housing, as he is busy fighting his own caucus.

Poilievre questioned, “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?” Defending his administration, Trudeau responded, “Once again, we see the leader of the Opposition pushing a ‘brokenist’ vision of Canada that is simply not aligned with reality.”

With a smirk, Poilievre quickly retorted about Trudeau’s choice of words, stating, “‘Brokenist’, it’s not even a word. He (Trudeau) is even breaking the English language,” eliciting laughter from fellow opposition members.

Trudeau’s popularity has significantly declined, leading to increasing pressure from within his party for him to step down. Last week, 24 MPs signed a letter requesting Trudeau to resign before the next election, amidst 153 Liberal MPs in Canada’s House of Commons.

Despite this pressure, Trudeau has previously expressed his intention to run for re-election. In over 100 years, no Canadian prime minister has secured four consecutive terms.

This internal turmoil in Canadian politics coincides with escalating tensions with India regarding the investigation into the murder of Khalistani terrorist Hardeep Singh Nijjar. Both countries have expelled six diplomats in a tit-for-tat diplomatic move.
