Former Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau stirred controversy by wearing bright green and orange sneakers with his suit at a historic parliamentary session attended by King Charles. The monarch’s speech, marking a significant moment for Canada’s sovereignty, was overshadowed online as many fans criticized Trudeau’s casual footwear choice, labeling it “immature” and disrespectful. Social media users mockingly called his sneakers “retirement runners” and accused him of deliberately trolling critics. Trudeau attended the event alongside his mother, Margaret Trudeau, but it was his shoes, not the speech, that captured most attention.
