Video: Canada’s opposition leader calls Trudeau ‘wacko’, kicked out of House
Canada’s opposition party leader, Pierre Poilievre, has been expelled from the House of Commons after he engaged in a hearted argument in the parliamentary session on Tuesday. Poilievre called the PM a “wacko”.
The argument began when Poilievre slammed the ruling Trudeau government for failing to crack down on drug overdoses, reported Reuters. Trudeau responded with a barb by saying that Poilievre was an associate of white supremacists. However, Trudeau was allowed to remain in the House.
“When will we put an end to this wacko policy by this wacko prime minister?” he asked Trudeau in the House of Commons elected lower chamber.
Speaker Greg Fergus, a Liberal, told Poilievre the comment was both unparliamentary and unacceptable and asked him four times to withdraw it. Poilievre declined on each occasion, saying instead he would use the word extremist or radical.
