Canada: Pierre Poilievre expelled from House of Commons for calling Trudeau ‘wacko,’ ‘extremist’

National Post:

OTTAWA — Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre was kicked out of the House of Commons Tuesday after refusing to apologize for calling Prime Minister Justin Trudeau a series of unparliamentary words such as “wacko” and “extremist.”

“It’s been an exceptional day,” Speaker Greg Fergus said after expelling both Poilievre and Conservative MP Rachel Thomas from the House during a raucous question period on Tuesday.

The drama began when Trudeau and Poilievre starting trading barbs, the prime minister arguing that Poilievre was “shamefully” flirting with extremism when he was seen near the logo of far-right group Diagolon last week and the Conservative clapping back at Trudeau’s previous blackface pictures.

But Conservative MP Rachael Thomas was the first MP to be expelled Tuesday when she called Fergus’s handling of the House “disgraceful” and refused to withdraw and apologize for the comment. more

  1. I thought everything goes in House of Commons.
    Although Poilievre is a breath of fresh air he has a lot of middle-to-left ideals. Still waaaay better than the current wacko/extremist.

  2. Ah, just saw that these “expulsions” are for merely the rest of the day.

    Fergus:

    Mr. Poilievre, I have to name you for disregarding the authority of the chair. Pursuant to the authority granted to me… I order you to withdraw from the House and from any participation by videoconference for the remainder of this day’s sitting.

    I’d like to have seen each Conservative member, in turn, stand up and say, “Fergus, you and Turdeau are Communist wankers,” and be expelled until none were left.
