Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, who has always been known for his handsome image, has recently been ridiculed for being "ugly" because he has a new hairstyle, which resembles the "dumb melon" image of Kim Carey in the comedy movie "Dumb and Dumb". Some netizens released photos of him and Kim Carey from various angles, ridiculing that this was "Grandma's favorite hairstyle"; Others have done a video of the two people changing their faces, which seem to have no sense of violation...
However, some people pointed out that the external image of packaging design is Trudeau's usual trick, and his short hair cut is intended to divert public attention and alleviate the public's dissatisfaction with the government due to inflation and increased pressure on life. A recent poll by Canada's National Post shows that most Canadians are dissatisfied with Trudeau's performance in power, believing he should resign before the next election.
Trudeau's new hairstyle
On July 15, local time, Trudeau updated Instagram and posted his new look. In the photo, Trudeau changed his long hair style to smart short hair, wearing a white shirt and jeans, and interacted with the children cordially.
This is a photo he took while attending an event at a camping camp in Chelsea Gatineau Park in Quebec City, Canada.
Trudeau said: "The children are very curious, they have a lot of questions. We discussed many things, from the trees and animals in the park to the different ways we protect the environment, and our planet is very well protected! ”

In the photos that Trudeau himself posted, his image looks fresh and lean; However, under the lens of the Canadian media, Trudeau, who cut his short hair, is no longer as handsome as before.
Many Canadian netizens have mocked his new hairstyle.
"His grandma would love this hairstyle."
"It's so bad, it's like the silly haircut you cut when you take pictures of your kindergarten kids."
"It's like I cut my poor child's haircut during the pandemic lockdown, it's not good."
Many netizens also found that after Trudeau cut this new hairstyle, it resembled the "dumb melon" image played by Kim Carey in the American comedy movie "Dumb and Dumb".
"Same energy."
"Hahahahaha, he looks like Kim Carey from Dumb and Dumb!" So fitting! ”
"A man walked into the barbershop and showed them pictures of Forrest Gump, Dumb and Agua and Piwe Herman, and that was the result."
The contrast between the two from various angles went viral on social media.
Netizens with fast hands have even done a face-changing video of Trudeau and Kim Carey, without any sense of violation:
As a result, the term "Kim Carey" has also rushed to the trend of Hot Search in Canada. However, many Canadian netizens have misspelled Kim Carey's name, and the Twitter hot search term is "Jim Carey" and Kim Carey's name is "Jim Carrey".
Of course, there are also Trudeau fans who think this hairstyle is very good, and he is still very handsome.
"Share my most controversial tweet: Trudeau's new haircut is good."
"Solemnly, I think Trudeau's new hairstyle makes him look fresh and clean... He was a handsome man either way. ”
Many netizens also pointed out that winning people's favor and diverting attention through carefully designed images has always been Trudeau's usual trick.
During the COVID-19 lockdown in 2020, Trudeau deliberately grew a beard and lengthened a curly hair. When he spoke on television, a video of him pulling his hair back went viral on social media.
And when he finally cut his hair and cleaned his beard in 2021, many Canadians rejoiced.

Some people joked: "If there is anything that can unite Canada, it is Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's new hairstyle." ”
Some people also sarcastically said: "Trudeau's style is always carefully designed, which is a strategic element of his dull personality." For example, he did not groom his hair and beard during the blockade as a sign of solidarity. Is this stupid new haircut designed to eliminate his apparent sense of elitism in the context of a recession? ”
Some have speculated that Trudeau cut his new hairstyle to divert attention: "Apparently, when we decided what we thought about Justin Trudeau's new 'Caesar hairstyle,' at least the news agenda for the next 72 hours was canceled. ”
This speculation is not entirely unfounded, and Trudeau has had a hard time in recent times.
Reuters reported on July 16 that Bank of Canada Governor Tiff McClem revealed that Canada's inflation rate in June will be "slightly above" 8%, and may reach 8.3%, which will be the highest point since 1982.
Rising inflation has led to a sharp rise in the cost of living for Canadians. Canadian food prices are up nearly 10 percent from last year, which equates to an increase of $1,300 (about 6,700 yuan) per Canadian family (family of four) spending on "eating" on average. Many Canadians who could not afford to eat had to turn to food banks, which could no longer meet the needs of the people because of their high costs and shrinking donations.
In addition, oil prices in Canada remain high, rising more than 30% month-on-month in June. Currently, the price of major nominal gasoline in many Canadian cities is 2.08 Canadian dollars per liter (about 10.8 yuan / liter). Because Canada's public transportation facilities are relatively backward, most people can only travel by car, so the pressure on ordinary Canadians caused by high oil prices is very obvious.

Rising pressures on the cost of living have led to growing dissatisfaction with the Trudeau government in Canada.
On July 15, Trudeau was supposed to attend a meeting at a brewery in the Ottawa area, but the event was eventually canceled because many demonstrators arrived early to protest and some even held flags insulting Trudeau.
It is worth mentioning that this is the second time in two months that Trudeau has been forced to cancel his appearance.
On May 24, more than 100 protesters gathered outside the gates of a ballroom in Surrey, Colombia, where one of them held a makeshift gallows with a noose stating that Trudeau was guilty of treason. In the end, Trudeau chose to participate in the event as an online video.

Canada's National Post reported on July 13 that the latest polls show that most Canadians do not recognize Trudeau's performance as prime minister, believing him to be a "divided leader."
The poll data shows that more than half of those surveyed, regardless of their party, did not approve of Trudeau's work as prime minister, and nearly half believed Trudeau should resign before the next election.
Among them, 32% of respondents expressed strong disapproval of Trudeau's performance in power, while another 23% of respondents did not approve of it; By comparison, only 7 percent of those who strongly approve of Trudeau's work, and another 33 percent say they do.
