Former Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau sparked criticism after attending a soccer match in Los Angeles with singer Katy Perry on Friday evening. The backlash stems from the timing of his attendance, coinciding with Canada’s first match in the current World Cup tournament. Many Canadians expressed disappointment that Trudeau chose to attend a US game instead of supporting his national team’s debut on the world stage. Social media platforms were flooded with negative reactions, accusing the former prime minister of a lack of patriotism. The incident has become a point of contention for Canadian soccer fans during a historic moment for the nation’s team. Trudeau has not yet publicly addressed the criticism.
