Montreal Protests: Justin Trudeau Reacts to Violent Anti-NATO Demonstration
Canada's Prime Minister Justin Trudeau condemned violent protests in Montreal Friday night as the city hosted delegates for the annual parliamentary assembly of NATO (North Atlantic Treaty Organization).
"What we saw on the streets of Montreal last night was appalling," Trudeau wrote Saturday on X, formerly Twitter. "Acts of antisemitism, intimidation, and violence must be condemned wherever we see them." He added that the Royal Canadian Mountain Police (RCMP) is in communication with local police, stating "there must be consequences and rioters held accountable."
Newsweek contacted Trudeau's office via email on Saturday for comment.
The demonstration, organized by Divest for Palestine collective and independent labor union CLAC or the Christian Labour Association of Canada, coincided with Montreal's hosting of the 70th annual session of the NATO Parliamentary Assembly. Approximately 300 delegates from NATO members and partner states are attending the four-day event, which runs from November 22-25.
According to Montreal police spokesperson Const. Manuel Couture, the protest began at Place Émilie-Gamelin around 4:30 p.m. before merging with another demonstration near Place des Arts. The demonstration escalated around 6:10 p.m. when protesters lit a mannequin on fire and began throwing objects including smoke bombs and metal barriers at police.
Three people were arrested - a 22-year-old woman for obstructing police work and assaulting an officer, and two men aged 22 and 28 for obstructing police work.
Police deployed chemical irritants and other crowd control measures after protesters set two vehicles ablaze and vandalized multiple storefronts, including windows at the Palais des congrès.
