TORONTO, CANADA: Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau was spotted dancing at a Taylor Swift concert in Toronto on Friday, November 22, at the same time that anti-NATO protests were underway in Montreal, reported Fox News.

The video of Trudeau dancing to the song 'You Don't Own Me' before Swift took the stage went viral on the social media platform X, earning him severe backlash.

According to the publication, Trudeau represents a district in Montreal, which is roughly 330 miles east of Toronto. Anti-NATO protestors took to the streets of Montreal on Friday night, November 22, with Palestinian flags and clashed with the police.



 

The protests turned into a riot as demonstrators set off smoke bombs and set cars on fire. While clashing with the police, some even threw small explosive devices and metal items at officers. An effigy of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was also burned at one point.



 

Justin Trudeau's statement on the protest

Justin Trudeau denounced the protests on the following day, stating, "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."

"The RCMP (Royal Canadian Mounted Police) are in communication with local police. There must be consequences, and rioters held accountable," he added.



 

However, the opportunity was grabbed by Trudeau's political opponents to call out the prime minister. Don Stewart, a Member of Parliament representing part of Toronto, called him out stating, "Lawless protestors run roughshod over Montreal in violent protest. The Prime Minister dances. This is the Canada built by the Liberal government. Bring back law and order, safe streets and communities in the Canada we once knew and loved."



 

Internet insists Justin Trudeau 'needs to go'

Netizens, especially conservatives, slammed Justin Trudeau for having a good time at the concert amid raging protest. The following tweets demonmstrate their takes.

"O Canada - when will you wake up from wokeness?" wrote a user.



 

"This perfectly reflects the Trudeau years. Chaos and anti-semitism, while short pants dances the night away. We can’t accept this," shared another.



 

"I doubt this is going to win Mr Trudeau any votes in Montreal," expressed a third.



 

"He needs to go," quipped another.



 

"Is this the new version 'Nero' fiddling with sadistic pleasure while Montreal burns?" inquired a user.



 

"Fiddling while Rome burns," echoed another.
