The conservative MP likening this incident to a drunk driver causing death? Is he FUCKING kidding me? I can't even...

[KevinKillaKam]

This is utter nonsense. Start tackling real issues instead of this bullshit.

[zagros]

He did the right thing! Those ass holes were blocking that MP by purpose and Justin stepped forward! what's wrong with that? but don't worry he'll get even more popular!

[buddhika]

oh ffs he didn't even know if he elbowed anyone let alone who he elbowed. But the lady is so good at playing victim card. Can you imagine if he elbowed a male MP and the MP later said "I had to leave the chamber because PM elbowed me, I needed a minute so I missed the vote" This is the problem with so many of these so called feminists nowadays. They talk about being strong like males but my god if you accidentally get elbowed you have to leave the room to have a "moment".

I'm really not sure the NDP needs the public to see them as even more unnecessary than they already do.

[jennaozzy]

OMFG... seriously? Way to get a lot of Canadians to keep voting liberal, if the alternative is to vote for these grandstanding crybabies.

[before]

So an entire City evacuated, thousands of people homeless and this is how they are spending there time.

[kyletee]

physical molestation lol are you kidding me. he barely touch her.

[AlexColberg]

If it's true that Tom Mulcair pointed his finger at Canada's Head of State and shouted "You're pathetic, " that, to me, makes Trudeau's "crime" pale in comparison.

[froblinkin]

NDP and the Conservatives just lost credibility in my books.

[sherenemcfarlane]

Jack Layton.
would be ashamed his party's
attitude.
This was not a representation of his dream for his party.
He was a classy man with integrity. Shame on you.

[dmc]

Wow! everyone went overboard! settle down!!! he didn't abuse him by helping him through the blockade, certainly didn't molest him, nor did he intentionally nudge the girl! Quit pouting people, quit ignoring the real issues! I think all the people dragging it on and trying to make Trudeau look malicious are acting very immature and like bullies. Also that damn bill should be passed so people who are suffering horribly should not have to endure any more pain. Ive seen it myself and those who disagree are selfish!

You know what? Trudeau is a passionate person. He says what he thinks. He doesn't pretend to be perfect like his critics do, and he is a fallable human being. I trust him more than someone who pretends to be calm and rational while simultaneously fucking the country right behind your back. Personally, I think Trudeau adds some energetic flavor to the boring humdrum of Canadian politics. his critics in the house, however are stale and boring.

And just to add this, look at Tom Mulcair. During the election he was all smiles and cuddly like a Teddy Bear. but in reality he screams and accuses and finger points more than most. He may not have the balls to say "fuck" in the House of Commons like Trudeau does, but his attitude towards his opponents in the house leaves much to be desired. just look at the way he verbally manhandled Stephen Harper over the years. I wish Harper would have lost his cool and bitch slapped him - at least once.

Apologising for doing nothing wrong... Being Canadian has gone to his head

[marcanthonyleone]

I don't like Trudeau but I think this is being blown out of proportion.

[princepaulofyugoslavia]

Part of me says this is unacceptable but another part says I do the same

[valeriekarina]

I can't. This guy compared an elbow brush to drunk driving. So fucking done.

[AColonDashSix]

Still waiting for someone in parliament to stand up during this kind of crap and shout "oh bullshit! Stop being crybabies and do your job! Act like adults!

[Mathesonguy]

The Canadian PM is a rude spoiled brat who does not have the common decency to turn and apologize after inadvertently contacting another person. He has no decorum or gravitas, and is a disgrace to the House of Commons and Canada.

[tomcopp]

he expects better behavior from himself...hahah your behavior is a result of your choices.
