Wednesday’s question period was notably more subdued a day after the House of Commons erupted in a nasty war of words between Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre and the prime minister that ultimately resulted in Poilievre’s removal.
Poilievre spoke in a softer tone throughout the 50-minute session and largely ignored Justin Trudeau’s claims that the Conservative leader was fraternizing with far-right elements and white nationalists when he visited an anti-carbon tax convoy in the Maritimes last week.
“The leader of the opposition refuses to say a simple thing — he condemns Diagolon, white nationalists and violent organizations. These are things that are concerning Canadians that he should answer for,” Trudeau said.
It’s that line of questioning that prompted Poilievre to call Trudeau a “wacko” yesterday.
Maybe he’ll stay permanently silent so the country can get back to fixing shit that needs fixing.
Nah, he’s had his reportable soundbite. He’s quiet because he’s just thinking of another way to catch the media’s attention. His voter base gobbles this stuff up.
No, the party wants the Speaker removed for not allowing insults in the house
I thought it was for having the insults of an 8 year old
The Speaker didn’t insult anyone
Just told Poly he wasn’t allowed to insult people and he would have to retract it or be removed
