It is infuriating to watch the images that were splashed across our screens Friday night.

Both the violence in Montreal – the cars burnt, the windows smashed by the Hamas loving thugs – and the images of Justin Trudeau dancing at the Taylor Swift concert in Toronto.

Comparisons to Nero fiddling while Rome burns have been made countless times, but in this instance they are accurate.

When it comes to the hate rallies and violence we see in our streets across Canada, Trudeau has stood by and let it happen. This week, with his comments on how under his leadership he would allow Benjamin Netanyahu to be arrested, Trudeau encouraged and emboldened what we saw Friday night.

American Senator Lindsey Graham, a powerful Republican who is about to get more powerful when Donald Trump takes over, issued a warning on Fox News on Friday night that any allied country that helps the International Criminal Court to arrest any Israeli officials will be sanctioned.

“You saw little Justin up in Canada and his position. What should the penalty be?” asked Fox News host Sean Hannity.

“We should crush your economy,” said Graham.

We shouldn’t take that as an idle threat, but the problem is Trudeau is already crushing the Canadian economy.

Our unemployment rate has risen to 6.5% as Trudeau has pursued a reckless ramp up of immigration that sees us bring in people “faster than we can absorb them,” as he said. The latest jobs report from StatsCanada shows we added 85,000 working age people to the population in October, and we’ve added 1.2 million people to the labour force over the last year.

Inflation has cooled but food prices are almost 25% higher than they were four years ago. Food inflation since Trudeau took office is up 34.5%. This is how average people judge the economy and how they are faring in it – do they have the means to look after themselves and try to get ahead.

“Let the bankers worry about the economy,” Trudeau said Friday while announcing government funding to feed hungry kids.

It was reminiscent of his comments in 2021 about not thinking about monetary policy just before inflation rose to 8.1% in June 2022. Or his comments that the budget would balance itself just before he plunged Canada in a decade-long cycle of huge deficits.

Justin Trudeau and his Liberal Party have shown themselves to be poor managers of the economy. They are in fact economic illiterates and vandals inflicting damage upon this country that we all have to pay for.

Since coming to office, Trudeau has increased total federal spending by $177 billion, an increase of 60% at a time when the Bank of Canada calculates cumulative inflation over that time of 22%. No matter how you measure it, government spending has been ramped up to uncontrollable levels under Trudeau, but no one would say that our government services are 60% better.

We have a military that can’t function, is short 14,000 members and is unable to recruit but can change their marching anthems due to concerns over colonialism and gender. We have an immigration system that is broken and a refugee surge that is bankrupting every level of government.

Crime, specifically violent crime, is up and the public is fed up with a revolving-door bail system. Rather than fix that though, the Trudeau government is blaming everyone else.

Housing costs have doubled under Trudeau and many young people have given up on the idea of home ownership.

So yes, the images of the vandals and thugs in Montreal are infuriating. The images of Trudeau dancing at the Taylor Swift concert knowing that he’s done nothing to deal with these hate rallies is infuriating.

So too is the vandalism that Trudeau and his Liberal Party are inflicting on our once great country.

For the good of Canada, Trudeau must go.
