Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau was slammed over the weekend for dancing at a Taylor Swift concert while a far-Left pro-Hamas rio was unfolding in Montreal.
Trudeau attended the concert in Toronto on Friday night, hundreds of miles away from the district that he represents in Montreal.
Extremists set cars on fire and threw small explosives and other objects at police officers during the riot, local media reported.
The riot happened as hundreds of NATO delegates arrived in Montreal for a high-level summit.
Extremists burned an effigy of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and committed other anti-Semitic acts.
“What we saw on the streets of Montreal last night was appalling,” Trudeau said in a statement. “Acts of antisemitism, intimidation, and violence must be condemned wherever we see them.”

“There must be consequences, and rioters held accountable,” he added.
Canadian Parliament Member Melissa Lantsman posted a video of the violence and wrote: “Complete lawlessness in Montreal as the Pro-Hamas terror mobs emboldened by the Trudeau Liberals destroy the PM’s own hometown.”
“Rioters on a violent rampage and not a single word from our government,” she continued. “They only act when you disagree with them.”
She ended her post by taking a shot at Trudeau: “Hope the concert was good.”

Canadian opposition leader Pierre Poilievre lambasted Trudeau over the riots.
“You act surprised. We are reaping what you sowed,” he said in a post responding to Trudeau. “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,'” he 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 continued. “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.”
He said that Trudeau has made Canada a “playground for foreign interference” by allowing Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps to legally operate in Canada.
“You passed laws that release rampant offenders from prison within hours of their 80th arrest,” he continued. “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,” he 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.
