Every time the part time Drama teacher sits and sticks his earphone in his ear with such a lovely flourish, it begs the question, 'which official language does he not understand'?

I'm surprised that Pravda hasn't taken down the comments.

Just watched this live right behind Trudeau, he was on his phone most of the time.

For 10 years this and 10 years that. Buddy u can't use this same excuse. You've been the government for almost 4 years now.

If Canadians do not do everything in their power to get this lunatic out of office ASAP, there will be nothing left to safe

Thanks for posting this @CBC. It's nice to see these snapshots of Parliament at work, without any real filtering. I can see my MP at work!

Let us remember Marrisa Shen 13 year old murdered by a crazed refugee but not a word from the PM he should be thrown out and stripped of hid pension.

Listening to lil justin speak insults my intelligence

[mikestunner]

Is there anyway to boot Trudeau out of office now?

[Jellygamer]

It's like a slightly more civilised version of the Britsh Commons

Trudeau gives $2000.00 (child tax benefits) more to families, working or not! Seniors and disabled are living below the poverty line! I've heard income adjustment for seniors (so they say) and for disabled they are gunna make sure the money goes towards making everything accessible! Yep I'd rather have that then pay my bills and eat! Thanks Trudeau government, your the best! (FU)

If you close your eyes when Poilievre talks, you can hear Dan Aykroyd.

The Conservative leader is a joke. Every time he speaks he reminds me of a little boy who's shouting, "Hey, look at me! Aren't I smart?"

[hobbabobba]

I've said it before I'll sat it again, there shouldn't be clapping in parliament while there is a debate! You're supposed to make the that awful errrr sound. Come on guys, get it together.

The oil sands "failed" because of Saudi oil imports brought the prices down to low.
