Justin Trudeau Elbows Lawmaker in Parliamentary Quarrel in Canada

Frustration erupted as the assisted suicide bill makes it's way through parliament. Canadian Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau, manhandled one MP and elbowed another.



Bit of a temper, I guess.

The man is passionate about killing the infirm I guess, pretty disgusting. It was stupid since I don't know what he expected to accomplish there, him doing something like that probably plays right into the oppositions hands but I guess such should be expected when Derek Zoolander is your Prime Minister.

First Hillary eats and likes Hot Sauce and now this... What is the world coming too???

He obviously didn't mean to elbow that lady while escorting the guy away. Another story blown way out of proportion, ugh.

That lady who was accidentally elbowed is so full of s**t. She was too traumatized by being accidentally elbowed that she couldn't stay to vote on the bill in Parliament, what a pathetic joke she is. Justin Trudeau on the other hand should not have sworn, it was pretty unprofessional of him regardless of how childish the opposition parties were acting.

I dont agree with Justin but I dont think he would purposely elbow someone.

It clearly wasn't intentional but it was careless and showed bad judgement, he obviously has a temper because what was he trying to accomplish there? To strong-arm an opposition to his seat so they can have quorum or whatever? That's not right either. I know parliamentary systems work different but I couldn't even imagine the uproar there would be if the POTUS did the same thing to a member of congress.

Yeah it does show arrogance , and it was for a grisly thing they were voting on.

The opposition was purposely talking for too long in order to delay the vote.

This is pretty common in every deliberative legislative body tho, what was Trudeau trying to accomplish there trying to literally strong arm a member of the opposition to their seat? That's just being a brute, that's not the type of behavior you you'd expect out of a Prime Minister but perhaps I don't know how parliaments work. Keep that in the boxing ring imo.

John Oliver's treatment of this subject on Last Week Tonight last night was hilarious.
