Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau faced strong criticism for his son’s headless Halloween costume, which many people found to be lacking in sensitivity given the current events in the Middle East.
Trudeau shared photos of his son Hadrien wearing the costume on social media, along with the caption, “Hadrien seems to have misplaced something… but that’s not going to stop him from trick-or-treating. Happy Halloween, everyone – have fun out there!”
Recent events in the Middle East, such as the release of a video by Israel’s Shin Bet internal security, where a Hamas terrorist admitted to killing children, heightened the controversy. Comments on Trudeau’s post expressed concerns about the appropriateness of the costume, especially given the global context. Some commenters questioned the timing and sensitivity of the choice, while others criticized it as being in poor taste and disturbing.
