Shouldn't politicians be able to speak more eloquently.

I get more and more the idea that people in Parliament are baby sitting the prime minister. Can we please vote for a grown-up next election?

[FloppyRodrigo]

Pierre Trudeau would have handled this phenomenally better.

While a normal person would face criminal incarceration

I don't know what the policy is in the House of Commons, but at my place of employment, you keep your hands off of others.

I see this almost as a positive, Canadas executive really cares, and gets to have a debate in their house; when tensions rise you shouldnt throw punches or launch smoke grenades, but this just shows that there is still passion in canadian politics

[momagainstguns]

Can he apologize for being elected and wasting Canadas time and quit apologizing for stuff that happened before Canada became a country

[davidmagritta]

Ne t'excuses pas Justin pour ça ...
C'est le NPD qui devrait s'excuser pour leurs gamineries.

What a boring story, PM elbows someone by mistake, then politicians play politics.

1 video clip, not 8 CBC..

Enough already! It was clearly an accident, and this is the kind of thing that makes us give a huge eye roll 🙄 down here in the states.

Now Ruth-Ellen Brousseau should apologize for her really lousy acting job, plus the fact that she missed being in the house for the vote she claimed to have felt so strongly about.

She should apologize for not putting on her big girl pants and staying to do the job she was paid to do instead of crying like she was still in the schoolyard.

Yet another man being crucified for unintentionally harming the overly sensitive, apparently weak, victim that is a so called "feminist".
