Mulcair: Trudeau is dancing to Taylor Swift while there are riots in the streets of Montreal

Tom Mulcair is brought to you by Guaranteed Industries. For high-efficiency Lennox furnaces and heat pumps, called Guaranteed Industries at 514-342-3400, Guaranteed Industries since 1957. But at the end, we have a group that organized, it wasn't there for the cars, was there just to destroy the windows, the cars, and really they were there to do some criminal acts.

That's a fatty dagger, the police chief of Montreal. Tom, three arrested, pro-Palestinian, anti-Nato protest downtown Montreal on the Friday night windows broken. It was a mess. And of course, it made a good political hay for Tudor's opponents to show him dancing with his daughter at the Taylor Swift concert. So your thoughts?

That's a brilliant 30-second summary, Andrew Carter. Yeah, that's exactly what happened. So we had the umpteenth march by people protesting the situation in the Middle East. And that was infiltrated as the chief of police just said by groups. He's identified them in the past, like the black block, another one that calls itself the clock. I won't even try to give you the full French version, but these are just troublemakers. So they got in there, they started smashing up.

all of the windows. It was a real mess at the convention center. Why? Because that was a meeting of NATO parliamentarians. And yes, the last time I checked, Mr Trudeau is a member of parliament. Is he allowed to go to a Taylor Swift concert with his daughter? Of course he is. But the timing was that people were watching this. It was the second day in a row on Thursday at Concordia, there had been it.

massive anti-Semitic march. I mean, no, no sense in calling it anything else. People will say, oh, no, no, it was protest in the situation in the Middle East. But when you have people giving the Nazi slew and talking about the final solution, you're talking about an anti-Semitic protest and march. So this is where we are in Montreal right now. The police had done nothing, whether it was at Sharr, Hashem, I am synagogue in Westmount. If you look at the pictures from Thursday, you have police officers facing the small handful of people

with Israeli and Canadian flags, but not doing heck of a lot about people giving the Nancy salute. Now, I do have some news because he just gave an interview on French radio, and I can report that fatty dagger says that the person giving that salute who lost her family had the two second cup franchises at the Jewish General Hospital, which were immediately removed by the company over the weekend.

It turns out, according to Dagger, she is under investigation and will probably be facing charges. So that has been news because it shows that they're finally starting to climb on things. Yes, I mean, it's been an embarrassment. Don't you know, I'm not going after the individual cops. There is clearly not enough understanding at the top of the MUSC police.

that these are hate crimes, and that there are laws against that. And that's been the problem. It's not that we need new laws. It's that we need to enforce the ones that are there. I still can't get my head around the fact that a franchisee who has franchises in the Jewish General Hospital would be taking part in doing those things. It makes no sense. This person, I don't understand. It defies words or logic.

And what happened was, so that person in, because there were a bunch of pictures available online, including a tape, you know, a video with sound of her saying, threatening and explaining, you know what it is, the final solution, you're going to get a final solution. And so does that make any sense? No, but she was wearing a headscarf, the, you know, the one that you see often at these protests called the Kafia. And she was wearing large sunglasses.

and a surgical mask. So you weren't supposed to be able to identify her. But unfortunately, before she got all that stuff on, people had taken pictures of her. And so it was clear who it was. So yeah, it doesn't make any sense. Why would they do that? Who knows? But it's a good thing that there's a good thing that people see that there can be consequences to this. And there may be more in other words, that was an immediate business consequence. But there will, of course, perhaps be consequences under the criminal law.

Okay, now let's talk about the political angle of this and Pierre Polyev or his people and or his people were all over the pictures of Johnson Trudeau with his daughter at the Taylor Swift concert in Toronto while Montreal burns while Trudeau dances was basically the headline. Your thoughts on that he's allowed to take his daughter to a concert, is he not?

you bet. And absolutely no problem with that. And this is completely over the top from point of view. And some of the other stuff that they're going to sounds like a soft, more term paper, you know, talking about Trudeau's identity politics. Yeah, sure. Exactly the type of thing the average Canadian voter gets into. But the problem with Trudeau repeatedly is not that he's not allowed to do stuff on his own. Everybody's allowed down time, including the Prime Minister. But

You remember when he created the national day of truth and reconciliation and then promptly scooted off because he hopped on his plane and went surfing in Tofino and everybody said, hold it, you were lecturing us about the importance of this day and you took off. So it's not that he was at a concert for Taylor Swift, that can be just good politics, good PR and being a good dad, but it's

Canada's got the worst record in NATO, where the laggards were the last in the class. This is a meeting of NATO parliamentarians. Trudeau, it turns out, has decided to be there this morning at 9.30 to give a speech, who knew that it was important for him to be at that NATO meeting. But on Friday, it was an absolute opportunistic move by the Conservatives

They went over the top. You say, you know, the people around them and put it up. I think they're one and the same. A party of tends to drive his own social media. And it's not, you know, just so happy this or that day. It's really this type of bizarre stuff where he can't help himself. And that's very telling about Pierre Poitier and how he would do politics if ever he did get the top job. It's worrisome, actually, when you see that sort of stuff.

Okay. Uh, what's the, uh, Canadian future party? Is this, uh, is this going to get anywhere you think? No, this is my old buddy, Dominic Cardi. And I'm very serious when I say my old buddy, because he was the head of the NDP. Don't you know, when I was there, provincially in New Brunswick, when I was the head of the NDP federally. And then one day, it was sort of like a political coming out. He says, well, actually I'm a conservative. And I said, well, that's interesting news. So he went and ran for the conservatives and became a cabinet minister.

But then when Blaine Higgs came out with his anti-LGBTQ positions, he quit cabinet and a whole bunch of other, well, actually his was over more complicated stuff involving official languages, but it started to all fall apart for Blaine Higgs and his government in New Brunswick after that. I think something like 10 or 11 members of his caucus wound up leaving. So he is the type of guy who himself has always had trouble identifying where he wants to be politically.

And the result of that is he's decided we need a new party that's the middle of the road party. Yeah. But of course, they ran in the, the by-election in La Salle Mart and all that. And it didn't do very well because they don't have any money and they don't really have any policies and they don't really have any candidates. They just have an idea. So I don't think it's going to go anywhere. But politically well. I wish my friend Tommy DeQuel.

Yeah, but politically, wouldn't you say that most Canadians would describe themselves as middle of the road in terms of their. That's why we have two middle of the road parties that are always there. We've got the liberals who are middle. It ticked left and you got the NDP that's a bit more left. You always had the progressive conservatives. What a funny name when you think of it, but they were middle. It's right. But then they became the conservatives, you know, and this was more hard bitten. This was

the Stephen Harper version, and this is the one that Pierre Poitier holds still right, but to your point, and I think it is a good one, is it an indication that Canadians really don't like hard?

politics of the right or hard politics at the left, I think it is. And I think that if Paulia, going back to our previous discussion, continues to put out stuff that is so weird, so out of sync with the average Canadian, I think he might be in for a bit of a surprise. I don't think it's going to go as well for him as the polls are indicating, especially if the liberals are able to get a new leader.
