PM IN HOT WATER; The Prime Minister apologizes.

I wonder how many times he beat her? After all, he's a woman abuser, just like his father.

Who did he beat? His wife? I haven't heard that one.

Trudeau should get a 10 game suspension.

Good thing he doesn't control any "nuclear launch codes".

Don't put any behind him!

[Derek 2.0]

No, but like I said, he has no business grabbing Brown and trying to get him to go to his seat. Teachers can't even do that any more in classrooms, and technically it is assault.

Exactly. And in what workplace can you grab and drag a coworker and it not result in serious consequences?

I suspect that Justin Trudeau is about to go into a real funk right now. I fear the guy is bipolar/manic-depressive or whatever the term is nowadays. For the past few months, we've seen him in his manic phase. Now, we're about to see the depressive side.

Could be, he would come by it naturally. The flying elbow aside, what type of person would think it a good idea to grab and drag another adult against their wishes in such a manner? As mentioned, in near any workplace, such actions would result in consequences.

I think his Government's threat to change how the House works is a far more "violent action" and affront to Canadians though.....

I hate myself a little bit time I catch myself nodding to posts from you, poochy and Argus, but I agree. I can't think of any professional environment where someone puts their hands on another person and coerces (drags) the person away and others just shrug it off laughing at the reactions instead.

I heart NDP and everything but I don't remember ever being that far up a politician's butt.

No reason to hate yourself for having common sense

I can square the circle of the elbow being an accident........but said accident wouldn't have happened if he didn't interject himself in such an aggressive manner. I'm gobsmacked that he has such a piss poor control of his temper, regardless of the transgression he felt the NDP guilty of.

I disagree, I think this is exactly who he has always been. He's not just a rich kid, he's an iconic PM's son. He pretty much got everything he ever wanted handed to him, even the PMO. Add in the international rock star attention and his sense of entitlement is reached a point where he is untouchable.

If Mulcair or Harper ever did something like this all hell would break loose but all I see in the comments sections of news articles is 'meh, did you see how much everyone overreacted??"

Forget Mulcair and Harper........revisit the various threads on the late Rob Ford.

Sure, in some way, I could see how it wasn't a one-person ordeal. The screaming match that ensued, the MP's coming down to the floor, it was a total poop-storm with no real winners. The whole village participated.

But what irks me is that our PM's actions started it, we're only 6 months in, and his entitled antics are only escalating.

Name-calling, sticking out tongues and now this. With 3.5 years to go (at best), what's next?

Gee, someone with a picture with " I (heart) NDP " as their avatar is shocked, shocked I say, who will consider the children!, is ranting against Trudeau: who'd have thunk it!

[kimmy]

I think that saying Trudeau bodily dragged Gord Brown out of there is as hyperbolic as the claim that he delivered a flying elbow-smash to the NDP member.

I imagine that by the time I wake up tomorrow people are going to be saying he body-slammed Ruth Ellen McSafespace and dragged Gord Brown down the aisle with one hand wrapped around his windpipe.

Not true, that avatar is from last election. I've voted Liberal many times in life, I don't like Trudeau though.

Now imagine if I didn't have that avatar. You'd actually find something of substance to say!

[G Huxley]

This whole thing is totally ridiculous, it doesn't even looked like he saw the person he bumped into as he was facing the other direction. Talk about over politicizing for real.

[Topaz]

I'm not sure of the Tories had any part in creating the situation but the NDP were wrong to stop someone like they did and IF they hadn't none of this would hadn't happened and the vote when had gone ahead BUT maybe that was the reason to slow down or stall the vote and MP May said as much. The PM had a meeting to go to after the vote and the NDP weren't helping any and I think all the travelling and high stress on Parliament Hill especially with BILL C40, the Right to die Bill has ALL MPS stressed out. One NDP MP said he hasn't seen anything like this happen in the odd years he's been there. Well, his memory is bad because I do remember the former Tory speaker taking a swing at a MP in the House or a Tory MP telling a NDP to F-off in the House. Again, Justin shouldn't left his seat and the NDP are also to blame for what happened and IF had been Harper, I would still feel the same way, unlike some of you playing politics.

[Smoke]

The elbow to the NDP MP looked unintentional. However, his decision to leave his seat to physically grab another person was not and was a very foolish thing to do for someone who aspires to be known for his compassion for others, and for someone who holds the country's highest position. I believe this is a shining example of Trudeau's immaturity. I also believe in his mind, he was going to get up and straighten everyone out with the belief that he would be the hero of the day and the whole world would admire his chivalry. Just not the way it turned out. What he did was wrong, and, as has been said, if this was anyone else in a workplace environment, he would be facing some sort of discipline.

The most disturbing thing I gained from watching the video though, and I haven't seen anyone comment on this so far, is the way the entire Liberal bench rose to applaud this immature, illegal act. Kinda says what the Liberals are really about.

[Smallc]

Did he get the "Shawinigan Handshake"? Was he injured?

Only slightly, thank goodness.

[BubberMiley]

Speaking as a traditional NDP supporter, most people would step back and give a person room in that situation. She moved toward him, which is unusual. I think it was just grazing contact that she exaggerated. I call BS politics on you all.

[PIK]

The boxing match with brazeau , went to his head and he thinks he is a tough guy. His pathetic performance trying to show how tough he is with disabled vets during the invictus games proves it. And when a apology starts with IF anyone is upset, does not sound to sincere. He certainly is not ready.

Somebody needs to tell Justin that being prime minister doesn't make one a supreme leader. You can't physically make people do what you'd like.

He was simply trying to explain quantum boxing

There is substance to my post.

To make such an issue over incidental and accidental contact is partisan nonsense.

Your partisanship lacks substance.
