Wacko is pretty mild compared to what 70% of Canadians are really calling him.

[tinthings]

Trudeau called Pierre "spineless" minutes before. Which is worse than being called "wacko"...

[lftljgv]

Poilievre just called it like it is, and in doing so, received thousands of new votes.

[Kay.]

The word wacko was the friendly word to use after being called spineless by that sell out.

[JustMe-lptd]

lol, Trudeau straight up called Poilievre a radical extremist. Poilievre retracted his statement, and changed 'wacko' to 'extremist' 3 times, and still got kicked out because the house leader had a power trip and wanted Poilievre to lick his boots -- but he didn't.

Let it go Vassy, your bias shows through.

[Baileygirl]

Vassy Tom Mulcair has come out and said Fergus in very biased by his actions today. Let’s also remember Trudeau called Pollievre spineless. Why should that be ok

[fuvxbkz]

Why did Fergus not sanction Turdeau for calling PP a radical extremist ?

[Llt]

Chair didn't even flinch when Sock boy called Pierre Spineless. Double standard

[benphotoshare]

As a tax payer I do not want to pay for these drugs.

[nolanbaptiste]

Pierre Poilievre is right to call Trudeau a wacko and Trudeau can't lead this country and he never was able to.

[ShelleySimpsonagent]

Why Vassy are you not asking the question why the PM called Pierre "spineless"? If your being fair with the political coverage, why not ask that question?

[esl]

Canadians don’t need hope. They need a change from this insane and miserable leadership.

[carldurocher]

So Trudeau calling him spineless is ok, that’s just wacko that Pierre was thrown out when Trudeau did the same thing

[ryanpeplinski]

The Diagalon doodle on the door is the same as doodle written on a bathroom door. Are you guilty of endorsing something just by walking by it? No. Vassy isn’t being honest here.

[joebruzzese]

Hard drugs should be illegal for personal use period it's either jail or detox.

[arsmaster]

Pierre was asked to withdraw the term. Pierre did. Fergus went partisan.

[littlelittle]

Pierre just went to 45% in the POLLS!❤❤❤

[nosdnarb]

General consensus is HE`S WORSE THAN WAKO!

[shawnmorrison]

Cause he is fricken wacko! the fact of the word wacko is being talked about more then the drug problem is so stupid.
