Trudeau outrage: 'Two-faced' Canada PM sparks fury as he 'bows down' to Iran chief

Justin Trudeau has been shamed by Twitter users for bowing his head to Iran’s Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif following the devastating plane crash in January which killed 57 Canadian citizens. The plane had been “unintentionally” shot down by Tehran following escalating tensions between the US and Iran. The Canadian Prime Minister met Mr Zarif and can be heard saying “very nice to meet you”.

Sharing the footage, anti-Trudeau group Canada Proud said: “Justin Trudeau was just caught on camera bowing down his head in subservience to the same Iranian regime that just murdered 57 Canadians, executes members of the LGBTQ community, funds terrorism across the world.”

Twitter users were furious with the interaction and called him “two-faced”.

One wrote: “Our Grandfathers look down in shame. Some Canadian military members never came home because of the militias backed by Iran. Plus of course the poor souls on the plane and Iranians.

“He’s shaking the hand and bowing to a guy who helped kill Canadians.”

Another added: “The first thing that comes to mind is Treason, Canadians most do whatever it takes to remove this trader from office.”

A third noted: “Imagine how the victims families feel about it?”

A fourth person said: “Canadians who abhor the man would like to hear from Canadians who voted him back into office.”

It comes after Mr Trudeau mplicitly blamed Donald Trump for the shooting down by Iran of the Ukrainian airliner.

The catastrophe occurred in the aftermath of the US assassination of Iran’s top military commander Qasem Soleimani on January 3.

Previously Mr Trudeau had avoided questions about whether the US President bore some responsibility for the deaths, preferring to focus on the grief and loss felt by families.

However, in an interview with Global News television, the Canadian Prime Minister said: “I think if there were no tensions, if there was no escalation recently in the region, those Canadians would be right now home with their families.”

He added: “This is something that happens when you have conflict and war.

“Innocents bear the brunt of it and it is a reminder why all of us need to work so hard on de-escalation, moving forward to reduce tensions and find a pathway that doesn’t involve further conflict and killing.”
