The city of Montreal, Quebec, was besieged by pro-Palestinian rioters on Friday night. It was a long night of violent clashes with the police, fires, and stores being looted and burned. Fortunately, the main district in Montreal is where Canada’s heroic Prime Minister Justin Trudeau lives. Trudeau surely must have stepped in to condemn the violence, right? Not exactly. Trudeau was hundreds of miles away, dancing like a weird sissy at a Taylor Swift concert.

It turns out that the blackface-wearing, costume-loving Prime Minister of Canada is also a huge “Swiftie.” Instead of remaining in Quebec on Friday night when it was public knowledge that the protests were going to happen, Justin Trudeau flew 330 miles west so he could cut a rug at a Taylor Swift concert.

The protesters set cars on fire and threw metal items and explosive devices at police. They’re demanding that Canada withdraw from NATO and they want a ceasefire in Gaza. The protests lasted through the weekend, with rioters blanketing the city in smoke bombs and smashing store windows. Approximately 80 people were arrested for violent acts on Friday night while Trudeau was dancing.

Social media users compared Trudeau to Nero, who supposedly “fiddled while Rome burned.” Trudeau was apparently so hung over after partying at the Taylor Swift concert that he didn’t even come out and publicly condemn the protests until the following night.

Trudeau’s political opponents are also making hay out of the incident. You’ve got to admit it’s a bad look for a politician to be dancing the night away while his city burns. One Canadian MP says this is what happens when you put Trudeau’s lawless Liberal Party in charge of the government.

Lawless protestors run roughshod over Montreal in violent protest.

This is the Canada built by the Liberal government.
