Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau sparked anger on Wednesday when he accused a Jewish MP of 'standing with people who wave swastikas' after she criticized his handling of the Freedom Convoy truckers' anti-vaccine protests.
Melissa Lantsman, a 37-year-old Conservative MP for the Toronto suburb of Thornhill, confronted the prime minister in Parliament about the draconian Emergency Act, which he invoked on Monday for the first time in 50 years in a bid to end 19 days of chaos.
Trudeau responded with scorn to her complaints, saying: 'Conservative Party members can stand with people who wave swastikas, they can stand with people who wave the confederate flag.
'We will chose to stand with Canadians who deserve to be able to get to their jobs, and get their lives back. These illegal protests need to stop and they will.'
His comments were greeted with uproar, and forced the Speaker of the House to reprimand Trudeau and others, reminding them of rules against using 'inflammatory' language in Parliament during the debates.
After being reprimanded, Trudeau refused to apologize and again repeated that the blockades were illegal, and the measures to repress the protests were necessary.
Lantsman later tweeted: 'I think the Prime Minister should think long and hard about his own history before singling out a Jewish Member of Parliament and falsely accusing me of standing with a Swastika.
'What a disgraceful statement unbecoming of anyone in public office - he owes me an apology.'

Yeah, especially since the guy with the flag was one of Trudy’s boys...
Is he still having temper tantrums? 🤪
Good
Or were the swastikas a ham-fisted attempt to liken Trudeau to Hitler?
What an idiot. I really am embarrassed to have this person as our leader but I also know he represents that number of people who want a free lunch and no accountability or responsibility for their actions.
Man this situation is very ripe for some kind of black swan event. Say for example she a Jewish woman, walked across and slapped him.
Everything is so unstable. Something very trivial could set off a national strike, a military move, a bank panic, the downfall of the Trudeau coalition government... something.
This is a good time to have your tank topped off, a little cash on hand, and the food you should have already had stored. And if you are Canadian, a way to stay warm.
This tyrant needs to be perp-walked out of Parliament.
“What an idiot. I really am embarrassed to have this person as our leader”
You think he’s embarrassing? Down in the States we can equal or beat -your- embarrassing leader.
“Trudeau refused to apologize...”
Petulant pre-pubescent putz!!
How about stop calling a protest of mostly European men, (nazis, swastika, whatever) and fighting for their rights to not get a vaccination that could be detrimental.
It’s getting so old.
A friend of ours got the covid vax in his 60s and died two weeks later of blood clots in the hospital last year.
And these leftists act like the jab is the key to immortal life. It’s not.
What a moron ...
Says the hypocrite who took that away from Canadian citizens for the last two years.
So lift the mandates and let them work freely and have their lives back.
That’s typical medical coercion techniques.
I can’t tell you how many doctors have tried to get me to do some medical protocol they thought I should be doing and listed all the bad things that could happen to me if I didn’t listen, which ended with *….and you could die*.
As if if I followed their advice I would not die and I would live forever.
You have it correct - I mistook the Confederate flag waver for the Nazi flag wavers.
He’s back to that.
Loser.
