It's always something. If it's not one thing, it's another.


So how come Canada is hosting nine Taylor Swift concerts?  
Because when Trudeau invites you, you come:
So Swift set up multiple concerts in Toronto and Vancouver!
But of course Trudeau can't ever be given any credit for doing anything as remarkable as this. 
So cue the hysterical shitposting about Trudeau going with his family to one of the Taylor Swift concerts on the same night there was an anti-NATO protest riot happening in Montreal: 
Because you know these Poilievre Conservatives -- they're the Roseanne Roseannadanna of Canada - It's always something, if it's not one thing its another.

No skybox for Trudeau.

Isn't it just like Poilievre to think it was ok for his puppet master to be allowed to do whatever he wanted with his family when he was Prime Minster, but Trudeau better not try that. God the beady-eyed prick is just so unlikable and irritating it's as if he aspires to be regarded as disgusting.😒

And about the riots themselves, Scrimshaw says this: 
Evan Scrimshaw / Scrimshaw Unscripted
Montreal, Antisemitism, And Speaking Truth
On The Riots In Montreal
...What happened last night was a disgrace, as a nominally anti-NATO protest became - or always was intended to be, either way - an anti-Semitic rally. Use of the “Final Solution” language, caught on video, makes clear that this was not just about being anti-Israel, a distinction that is wide enough to drive the Décarie through. This was about scaring Montreal’s not-inconsiderable Jewish population.
That that was their purpose is, of course, obscene, and it shouldn’t be difficult to say. The cause of Palestinian rights is shared by many sane, rational people who care about the people of Gaza and the West Bank, but it is also shared by many truly abhorrent people who believe they are superior to the Jewish people on account of their religion. Bigotry in the guise of religious zealotry is no more acceptable against the Jewish people than when people overread scripture in an attempt to justify homophobia...
...We must clearly, confidently, and unambiguously condemn antisemitism whenever it appears, and never let anyone believe we will tolerate it as a price worth paying.
But similarly, we must be clear about what actually happened in Montreal last night, and what didn’t. This was not Toronto 2010, or Vancouver 2011. This was a relatively small group of antisemitic pieces of shit who were dealt with. Yes, they did some damage, and it seems reasonable the police should have been more prepared, but Montreal did not burn last night. It was horrifying, and if you are a Jewish Montrealer who doesn’t feel safe in your own city far fucking be it for me to tell you otherwise. But making Canada, or Montreal, out to be something it’s not isn’t helping.
What we face is a very real problem, but this is not a crisis on the scale of 1970...

I twigged to Jean Creatien at a mid eastern peace tour back in the day using the "coming to a final solution" phrase a nd ... crickets.
Also thought his comment about turning South Americans from tribal isolationists into "consumers" was also a bit of capitalistic poetry
