After a five-second countdown, the 11-minute-and-40 second video begins with a montage of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau — including him clapping enthusiastically from within a crowd at what appears to be a sporting event or later dancing badly at what appears to be a food festival.

Also singled out in various segments, called everything from Wackanomics to Wackabulary, are various Liberal MPs including former finance minister Chrystia Freeland, who resigned from that position on Dec. 16, and federal NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh.

There’s also mention of former Liberal MP William Amos, who appeared naked (after a jog, he said) during a non-public virtual session of the House of Commons and decided not to run for re-election later in 2021.

Trudeau’s infamous “We like to say peoplekind, not necessarily mankind” quote makes the cut too, along with his nickname given by China, in a clip from Freeland.

“He’s Little Potato,” says Freeland. “Because his father, Pierre Elliott, was Senior Potato.”

The video, with the full title’“WACKOS: The weird, wild, woke & wonderful world of the people running our country,’ also has a Conservative Party donation link, saying, “Chip in here if things have gotten too weird for you.”

The post of the video to Poilievre’s X account on Dec. 31 yielded many supportive reaction.

We apologize, but this video has failed to load.

“Sorry, but grow up and start showing us how a Prime Minister should act,” one user said of Trudeau.

“There is still a lot more material for another video,” wrote another user, with another summing it up as “Best movie ever.”

Another user called for a change in political tone in 2025.

“It’s fun, but as we move into the new year, I want fewer TikTok-level videos and more serious talk. Treat the electorate as intelligent, educated people, and less like reactive social media users. Let’s not lower the political discourse any more than this,” the X user wrote.
