Good. That little asshole is a threat to Canada.
I agree he’s an asshole and a threat to Canada.
But this is a political stunt, designed to energize his base: which polling says is enough to win.
He doesn’t need to sway any new voters, just convince te ones he already has to show up.
So… Not good. He laid bait, it was snapped up.
I hear you, and I don’t think you’re wrong.
But the dipshits are out-numbered. We can, and should, treat them with the contempt they so justly deserve. Coddling them because we don’t want to seem “elitist” or “intolerant” or “unstatesmanlike” will only foster their ignorance and feed their outsized sense of self-worth.
This. Learn from the US’ mistakes.
The dipshits are NOT outnumbered. The conservatives have like a 20 point lead. They’re on track for a BLOWOUT win.

I’m no fan of Trudeau but I’d take 50 more years of him as PM over any more conservatives in the position.
I agree!
But like… Trudeau’s lukewarm governance is what enables these pendulum swings. I’m hesitant to even call it his governance because of how obviously the status-quo old-guard let him off the leash for an election and then immediately bury whatever he promised.
I, starry eyed, voted for him in a deeply conservative riding after his PROMISE that if elected, it would be the last FPTP election. His PROMISE.
“At least this will be the last election in which my vote will be completely worthless due to my postal code”, I naively believed.
My votes are literally worthless. Literally. I can’t help him and it’s literally his fault.
This, the timeline where we lost Jack Layton, is the worst timeline.
If calling the PM wacko is allowed, we are mere weeks away from all the HoC question periods eroding into nothing but name calling. The speaker was right, unparliamentary language bans are a long standing part of our system of governance. Bye bye PP. Bye bye.
We used to be able to disagree on things but still work together, Conservatives have decided working together is a bad idea and complete control is the only way forward.
It’s already happened in the US and its worked its way up north.
Election 2025: Wakko vs. Skippy
Conservatives are such children
The article is unclear, was the guy booted out for just the day, or permanently? I assume just for the day, otherwise it would be a bigger story.
He was booted out for the rest of the day
for refusing to apologize, retract or rephrase the statement.ALL media surrounding this is a nothing burger designed to forment unrest and get a far right, even more pro business leader elected. And he’s already fundraising as if he’s the victim of a dictatorship.
From the article:
Fergus told Poilievre he was disregarding the speaker’s authority and, in an unusual move, said: “I order to you to withdraw from the House … for the remainder of this day’s sitting.”
Right, but then he left and pressed on, and then the article uses “ejected”. It wasn’t cleared to me whether “withdrawn for a day’s sitting” was the same as “ejected”.
