We live in a culture of public apologies..and they are getting more lengthy and over the top each day..and you even hear people say that a given apology is not good enough..

We need to grow up as a society. People act as though having their feelings hurt is the absolute worst thing in the world. How about take control of your emotions and just deal with issues and with the truth.

Just get your work done..and stop the childish drama.

he apologized! And he apologized for something he shouldn't have done! But my God if the opposition keeps this up it will become so ridiculous

[Haru]

How many apologies have this been this month? 3? 4? this guy loves to apologize for everything

[satinsolstice]

this enrages me so much. why is this such a big deal?! he accidentally grazed someone with his elbow. it's really not the end of the world. get over it.

PLEASE SPEND YOUR TIME AND OUR TAX DOLLARS DISCUSSING MORE IMPORTANT THINGS.

[Junokaii]

How do you regret something that was apparently an accident? Or was it an accident?

[gregcoates]

Giving people the proper right to end their terminal suffering is a bigger deal than getting a little elbow when standing in the way of a Prime Minister. Shame on the shameless MP's trying to steal the gravity away from this important issue the canadian public has entrusted in you to make right!!

[gabrielgrenier]

Dam poilitician of all parties are so thin skin... jesus having to ''deaply appologize'' for such a thing...

[mikehalpern]

big deal, there's more severe elbowing every day in crowded subway trains ! :-)

[ramendude]

This is too much. That "victim" is too weak to be to be a political leader. I'm so glad our military doesn't behave this way.

[fintanoclery]

I'm no fan of Trudeau but this is ridiculous.

[murphysean]

I forgive you Mr. Prime Minister.
Lets get back to work.

[CSGDuncan]

It's cool baby! Don't worry about it!

[johntaylor]

Has parliament ratified the TPP yet? This might all be a distraction.

[ZacharyAlexanderGoh]

I think it's pathetic they're calling it molest. Seriously?

[-First-Last]

He/she is very sincere. He/she Have to READ his/her APOLOGIES.

[Incariuz]

I am not a fan of Trudeau, I disagree with so much he says and does but... He should not be apologizing for his actions. The inconsiderate twats who were disrupting the flow of the house should learn to be more mindful of their surroundings and then Trudeau would not have felt the need to act and assist the MP pass through them.

[wilsonoriginals]

What a joke, get this guy out of here.

[petestav]

I'll take this over what's going on south of the border any day of the week and twice on Sunday. Workplace respect is the only way to go if you want to get things done.

[fintanoclery]

I'm sure if Harper had done this the Liberals and their supporters would have been just as understanding.

[Plaidredmarmotte]

Tantrum Trudeau will never change. He was the same before being in politics why should he change now.
