CBC: Justin Trudeau's elbowing incident leaves House in an uproar
'There is not a parallel in contemporary Canadian history,' NDP House leader says following Commons uproar.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau was accused of "manhandling" Opposition whip Gord Brown and elbowing NDP MP Ruth Ellen Brosseau in the House of Commons as MPs gathered for a vote on the government's assisted-dying bill Wednesday afternoon.
In video from the House, Trudeau is seen walking toward Brown in a crowd of MPs in the Commons aisle, taking his arm in an apparent effort to move Brown toward his seat. While doing so, he encountered Brosseau, who was also standing in the aisle and was seen physically reacting after the contact.

What a bunch of bourgeois tits.
It's ok to openly consort with Nazis, push free trade agreements that put thousands out of work, undermine environmental and safety standards, send the military to smash countries and create chaos, but don't "elbow" a woman in parliament. You see them standing up and getting all indignant looking for attention?!!!
A national embarrassment.
I agree with RRH. Brown could have easily walked around the other side of the table but I guess thinking about that was beyond his I.Q. capacity. Canadian politics are a joke, and this playground garbage has to stop. Maybe then they can act like adults and get something done.
By the way, love the blog. I have been following for awhile and your reporting and opinions are always refreshing.
Sure he could have walked around, but playing games was obviously more fun. Like my Wife said "Haven't they anything better to do?" Of course not. Theyre clowns and frontmen/women for the people who really run the country.

My Liberal friends are feeling very uncomfortable right now.
I watch the video a number of times and it looks as if he didn't so much elbow for pain it looked like he was copping a feel. It's the kind of things that happens in high school hallways or in bars. Watch the video, the weasel is pretty immature and a bully, now to my eye looks like a perv as well.
If only it were just a Liberal thing....
He had a reputation of being a spoiled bully in school ... which we all tend to grow out of as we grow older. But when adults behave like this .... it rises to a different level (especially at this level) .... and that is the problem with what happened yesterday. As I had mentioned before .... my Liberal friends are feeling very uncomfortable with what happened yesterday .... it is something that cannot be defended .... and they know it. And while this story will be old news by this weekend ... if it happens again .... then there is a serious problem .... and that is what my old Liberal friends are really worried about.
