Social media ROASTS Trudeau over photo op on Indigenous graveyard
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau held a press conference in Saskatchewan on Monday alongside Premier Scott Moe, at Cowessess First Nation, where yet another lot of unmarked graves were discovered near a former residential school.
Many on social media, though, saw the prime minister's actions as distasteful, after photos of Trudeau kneeling on the unmarked graves, holding a teddy bear, made their way to Twitter.
Reaction to the photos often noted how the photos seemed like a big-headed move by Trudeau, by making the event "all about him."

Dear @JustinTrudeau, You need to ask for this to be taken down, This is exploiting a tragedy for your own personal gain, the focus should be on the children and communities that were and still are affected, this is absolutely disrespectful as this tragedy is not about you! https://t.co/ZqQAx7xy9O

I can’t think of the right words to describe how disgusted I am that Trudeau would allow photos of this moment yet how unsurprised I am. #TrudeauWorstPMEver pic.twitter.com/4a8CLdAaKi

What a complete & utter FRAUD Justin Trudeau is.. What a disgrace he is, using the graves of dead Indigenous children as a backdrop for his GOULISH photo op. EVERYTHING about this POSER is FAKE. HE should NOT get a 3rd term as PM. VOTE HIM OUT! https://t.co/CAP78wp4sb

Premier Scott Moe also took photos holding a teddy bear and kneeling on the site of the graves.
