It was an accident for which he has apologized more than once. This does nothing but make the NDP in general and Brosseau in particular look weak and ineffective.

Suck it up girl. 'I was elbowed in the chest... I had to leave for a while...". If not for medical attention then for what.

She was facing him, and JT's back was to her.

My feeling is that she sexually assaulted his elbows with her breasts.

[Swidhelm]

Weird that she was laughing at first when it happened. Also, don't take public transit. You'd have a melt down.

You know, if you all were DOING YOUR JOBS and not delaying on a vote; this wouldn't have happened. So as a tax payer, GET BACK TO WORK and stop wasting time and money.

[lankylankster]

How about the guy that stepped on her toe as she left the building to seek medical attention?

Its a shame I don't live in her riding so I can't vote against her. Thanks for blowing up an accident and embarrassing Canada internationally.

"I'm a woman, I'm weaker than him, I'm quick to get emotional and run away from my job duties, my logic is easily impaired by my lack of control on my emotional state, please feel bad for me, where's the PC police? Im traumatized, and would like a paid leave to go and calm down " boo Hoo she played the female victim card so quick she sent feminism 50 years back!

[drewsdrawers]

For credibility’s sake, I hope she isn’t the founder of the “Me Too” movement. This is a sad representation for the real victims of abuse.

The issue is he had just taken office and instead of calling his co workers to order in a mature manner he set the tone for his future obnoxious behaviour. People wanted to defend him and give him a chance to redeem himself but he is rude and arrogant and I have not seen competency from him in any form of leadership.

Doesn't look like she had to miss the vote because of

[tubuck]

The crazy feminist PM accidentally elbows a women, oh the misogyny.(eyes rolling)

[dimitriosotis]

Ha ha -- "I am so traumatized I can barely speak" -- "I am accusing the Prime Minister of Canada of assault" -- " I am unaware there are video cameras which recorded what really happened" -- "I'm going to lie anyway" ....
