Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau faced backlash after attending a Taylor Swift concert in Toronto on November 22, coinciding with violent anti-Israel riots in Montreal. Protesters burned effigies, vehicles, and shop windows, prompting police to use chemical irritants. Trudeau condemned the violence, calling for accountability, but critics compared him to Nero, citing his apparent indifference. Supporters argued he was spending time with his family. The riots, involving 800 demonstrators, coincided with NATO's parliamentary assembly, denouncing the alliance. Three arrests were made. Trudeau emphasized that antisemitism and violence must be condemned and addressed swiftly.
