When some rich kid named Jonathan Montalvo got kicked out of a Montreal club last winter, he became a social-media sensation.  Soundbytes from his famous YouTube clip were subsequently remixed into a catchy tune that became a dance-club craze–and the kid was even getting paid to make appearances.  That said, the latest YouTube/remix craze out of Quebec, Stéfanie Trudeau aka Matricule 728, well, I think she’d have a hard time getting someone to buy her a drink, to say nothing of appearance fees.

Y’see, Matricule 728 isn’t her gangsta-rap name, but rather her badge number with Montreal’s finest.  And while Mme Trudeau didn’t take a trip to Toronto for the G-20 riots, at least not to my knowledge, she certainly would’ve fit right in.  Already an internet sensation after she was caught on film pepper-spraying students at a tuition-fee protest in May–and taken off riot-squad duty as a result–she most recently raised a ruckus while working the beat in the Plateau Mont-Royal neighbourhood.

As this Radio-Canada report relates, it seems she spotted a man on Avenue Papineau with an open container, which is a definite no-no, even in Montreal.  Apparently, he was just holding a door open for a friend–in the wrong place, at the wrong time.  Of course, with her natural charm and sunny disposition, it wasn’t long before she was escorting a bearded man down the stairs by his neck, with camera phones rolling, natch.  The irony is that he and a couple others were under arrest for “intimidation,” which essentially means the same thing in French (though it’s also the translation for bullying).  Apparently, some of the apartment-dwellers had seen the pepper-spray clips, and were giving her an earful.  I’m sure she was shaking in her boots…

But wait, there’s more!  After confiscating the evidence, Trudeau didn’t realize that one of the camera phones was still rolling, and it captured her conversation with a colleague about the incident.  Let’s just say that if we had a dollar for every “ostie” that came out of her mouth, all the carrés rouges could go out and buy a round of beers.  Suffice to say, she doesn’t like them or artists very much…

And yet, 728′s aggressive behaviour predates the student protests, and even the smartphone era, too.  As La Presse columnist Patrick Lagacé reports, she was suspended six days in ’96 for “obtuse and aggressive” behaviour after intimidating a nurse at Sainte-Justine Hospital, where she had been dispatched to question a young sexual-assault victim.  I guess she was the only one in the office when the call came in?  Needless to say, Trudeau has been suspended again, but she doesn’t hafta hand in badge# 728 just yet.  Mind you, that still wouldn’t be enough justice for Ice Muthafuckin’ T! (before he played a cop on TV, that is…)

And yes, I know what you’re thinking, and she is in fact Pierre Trudeau’s daughter.  Not the first one that comes to mind, however; her old man was the head of the division in Saint-Hubert and a former president of the Canadian Association of Chiefs of Police, before he passed away in 2001 (condolences here).  Now that woulda been a big blow to Justin’s campaign there, eh?
