Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is facing backlash after he spent the weekend dancing at a Taylor Swift concert while a pro-Hamas riot burned down Montreal, his home district.
The disgraced Canadian prime minister attended the pop star’s concert on Friday night in Toronto, which is hundreds of miles away from Montreal.
While Trudeau danced with his fellow elitists, pro-Hamas extremists set fire to cars and threw small explosives and other objects at police officers. The riot was timed to coincide with a high-level summit in Montreal with hundreds of NATO delegates in attendance.
The pro-Hamas rioters burned an effigy of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu while committing “other anti-Semitic acts,” according to the Daily Wire.
Trudeau attempted to save face with a statement posted on X, writing: “What we saw on the streets of Montreal last night was appalling. Acts of antisemitism, intimidation, and violence must be condemned wherever we see them.”
“There must be consequences, and rioters held accountable,” he added.

The RCMP are in communication with local police. There must be consequences, and rioters held accountable.

His statement did nothing to stop the backlash. In a post on X, Canadian Member of Parliament Melissa Lantsman shared a video of the violence and condemned the Trudeau regime for emboldening these pro-Hamas terrorists.
“Rioters on a violent rampage and not a single word from our government,” she added. “They only act when you disagree with them.”
Lantsman concluded the post with a shot at Trudeau, writing: “Hope the concert was good.”
Complete lawlessness in Montreal as the Pro-Hamas terror mobs emboldened by the Trudeau Liberals destroy the PM’s own hometown.

Another fiery condemnation of Trudeau came from Canadian opposition leader Pierre Poilievre.
“You act surprised. We are reaping what you sowed,” he wrote in a response to Trudeau’s post. “This is what happens when a Prime Minister spends 9 years pushing toxic woke identity politics, dividing and subdividing people by race, gender, vaccine status, religion, region, age, wealth, etc.”
“On top of driving people apart, you systematically break what used to bring us together, saying Canada is a ‘post-national state’ with ‘no core identity,’” Poilievre continued. “You erased our veterans and military, the Famous Five and even Terry Fox from our passport to replace them with meaningless squirrels, snowflakes and a drawing of yourself swimming as a boy.”
“You opened the borders to terrorists and lawbreakers and called anyone who questioned it racist,” he added. “You send out your MPs to say one thing in a mosque and the opposite in a synagogue, one thing in a mandir and the opposite in a gurdwara.”
Poilievre went on to point out that Trudeau has made Canada a “playground for foreign interference” by allowing Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps to legally operate in the country.
“You passed laws that release rampant offenders from prison within hours of their 80th arrest,” he added. “And what is the result? Assassinations on Canadian soil, firebombings of synagogues, extremist violence against mandirs and gurdwaras, over 100 churches burned or vandalized (with barely any condemnation from you), all for a total 251% more hate crime.”
“And, while you were dancing, Montreal was burning,” Poilievre concluded. “We won’t let you divide us anymore. Call an election now. We will fire you and reclaim our citizenship, our values, our lives, our freedom and, most of all, our country.”
You act surprised. We are reaping what you sowed.
