Video of Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau dancing at a Taylor Swift concert amid a destructive protest in Montreal drew outrage over the weekend.

Trudeau, who represents a district in Montreal, had attended the Taylor Swift concert in Toronto on Friday night. A viral video posted on X shows the Canadian politician dancing and singing along to the song "You Don't Own Me" before Swift took the stage.

Toronto is roughly 280 miles west of the Canadian capital of Ottawa and 330 miles west of the Montreal district that Trudeau represents.

During the same night, anti-NATO demonstrators set off smoke bombs and marched through the streets of Montreal with Palestinian flags. According to the Montreal Gazette, the rioters set cars on fire and clashed with police.

Protesters also threw small explosive devices and metal items at officers. At one point, the group burned an effigy of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

The image of Trudeau dancing amid protests in his hometown sparked outrage online. Some social media users even compared Trudeau to Nero, the infamous Roman emperor known for "fiddling while Rome burned."

Don Stewart, a Member of Parliament (MP) representing part of Toronto, called out the prime minister in a post on X.

On Saturday, Trudeau denounced the protests and called them "appalling."

"What we saw on the streets of Montreal last night was appalling," the Canadian leader said. "Acts of antisemitism, intimidation, and violence must be condemned wherever we see them."

"The RCMP [Royal Canadian Mounted Police] are in communication with local police. There must be consequences, and rioters held accountable."

Fox News Digital has reached out to Trudeau's office for comment.

Trudeau is 52 years old for those wondering.

It's really unfortunate optics, but what was the timing? The way it's phrased implies the protests escalated during or shortly after the concert, which means he couldn't have done anything.

He has a teen daughter to be fair.

Imagine for one second how hard the Liberal government would come down on the truckers if they had behaved like this during the trucker protest.

Only a few years younger than Pierre was when he did his pirouette. Hmmm, maybe Justin isn't Castro's kid!

Seems like this soyboy has been in office for like two decades. Did his term limits reset after he transitioned or something?

Thankfully I don't know anything about Canada, but the fact that you keep re-electing this fag is an indictment on your nation.

Canada does not have term limits IIRC, and they have been too much of cucks to vote for someone else, so far.

I don't know if they have the most intense voter fraud system though, assuming that they need to print hundreds of millions of ballots to keep his Soyface in office.

The Prime Minister of Canada has no set term limits and due to how elections work in parliamentary Canada the PM is chosen by the confidence of a majority of the elected House of Commons. The Conservative Party beat the Liberal Party in the popular vote in the two most recent elections but that alone isn't enough to win the race to decide the governance of the country.

"What we saw on the streets of Montreal last night was appalling," the Canadian leader said.

"And by 'we' I mean what some other people saw, cause us Swifties were too busy 'Shakin' It Off'!"

Well, Canadians don't get to directly elect their prime ministers, you vote for the local representative and then those guys get together and the majority installs their boss in the top seat. It's a system where party politics are baked right in, and it's about as wonderful as that sounds.

And while his party has the most seats of any single party, it doesn't even hold a simple majority anymore. If the other parties got together they could cause problems, but one of those parties is socialist so of course they love an authoritarian leftist like Justin.

Nero fiddling as Rome burns. Though I wouldn't consider Canada to be something like Ancient Rome... aside from the degeneracy and the invaders anyway.

When I read the title, I imagined him doing something akin to Russell Greer's dance moves. Reality is often disappointing.

It won't make any difference. Canada's far left party will be replaced by a slightly left party.
If you compare the politics of the "Conservatives" they're just like the liberals

They literally were the liberals

"Acts of antisemitism, intimidation, and violence must be condemned wherever we see them."

Now will the government shut down their bank accounts like they did with the truckers?

 

[DamnWolves!]

What a fag this guy is.

Fuckin embarassing to be a normal Leaf who likes hockey, hacking darts and sledding and have this be the guy that women decided ought to represent us... because he was handsome and had a famous name (a name only made famous because our public schools venerate his father for massively expanding the public service and increasing the national debt by 3200%).

At this point though, I don't know a single person who still likes him. No amount of handsome beats "why does milk cost $6.49 for a 2L?".

Obama throws like a girl, looks like an alien trying to figure out a bicycle but I'm saying right now, he wasn't that bad. Dear God.
