I am just glad he chose not to sing a song by an African American artist. He might have taken it too far.
Everyone is raising hell about it.

I'm like who cares, the guys really on his own time, if he wants to sing Queen badly go for it.

Wait that’s a real thing people are complaining about? Jesus Christ, that’s pathetic.

It doesn't really look like anyone is really complaining about it but the media is reporting on it and trying to make it into something outrageous. Even on more conservative slanted Reddit forums no one seems to give a #### about this.

If people are upset with him having a drink or two and singing Queen I really have no shot as a politician.

Don’t give up hope KFF, those people probably would have been upset with Trudeau regardless of which band he picked.

Singing Queen has to be the most 'likeable' thing JT has ever done - what is to complain about here?

Based on what I have seen of things that were closed in England over the past week, I feel like the Brit’s were not amused. Now with that being said, my wife saw something on social media suggesting this clip was 2 yrs old.

Some Twitter pics of our leader made him look like he went hard at it the night before.

When he wins the next election, he'll have to go with "We are the Champions".

Many on twitter are complaining and acting like it's the most embarrassing thing a PM has ever done, though they didn't give a damn about the Queen a week ago so it's pretty disingenuous. If he had been extra sad on his own time they'd be calling him an overly dramatic phony wuss.

If they are that embarrassed they must have missed the amazing musical performances by Stephen Harper over the years...

From a casual scroll through Twitter it seems like the top comments from it are all Rebel News types.

Well Twitter is a cesspool for the bottom of the barrel representation of society. The bots are probably hard at work on this one.

I’m talking about verified accounts like Keenan Bexte.

Right, bottom of the barrel of our society.

Even Brian Lilley doesn't understand the outrage over this.

I'm just thankful JT didn't dress up as the queen while he was in England

Right, I was just pointing out that it was real people. As I said earlier:

Who wins in a karaoke duel, Trudeau or Polievre?

PP’s go-to is probably some “ditty” from 1945. Probably sounds something like Unforgettable by Nat King Cole if sung by a charisma void.

This is one of the least embarrassing things he's done.
