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.

It’s sad in so many ways, but the simple fact is that Canada has voted for this sh¡t, and not just once or twice, but over and over again (with a couple of interruptions) going back to Pierre Trudeau in 1968. We shall see if this latest episode triggers any kind of change or not. Frankly, I’d bet on “not”.

What do we expect? More than half the population speaks French.

Just for Montreal, yeah. I don’t think that’s true for all of Canada.

I didn't say ALL of Canada. I thought it was about half, but actually it's just a quarter. And mostly in Quebec (81%).
