Justin Trudeau makes feminist compere squirm as he shares story about schoolgirls in skirts that were too short

Justin Trudeau left a women’s conference squirming as he told a story teaching schoolgirls who wore their ‘skirts too short.’

The former Canadian Prime Minister, 54, recalled the awkward anecdote while speaking at the 2026 Women Deliver Conference in Melbourne, Australia last month.

During a sit-down with his former Chief of Staff Katie Telford, Trudeau told a story about his time as a school teacher early in his career and founding a school newspaper.
