Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre says he does not regret calling Prime Minister Justin Trudeau “wacko,” and now his MPs are renewing calls for the House of Commons Speaker to resign, this time over ordering the Official Opposition leader to leave the chamber.
On Tuesday, Poilievre was kicked out of the House(opens in a new tab) by Speaker Greg Fergus, after repeatedly refusing to withdraw his remark, made in the context of Trudeau’s policy on hard drug decriminalization and amid a series of heated exchanges between the two leaders that saw Trudeau accuse his opponent of being “spineless.”
After being called out by the Speaker for his language, Poilievre offered to replace the word “wacko” with “extremist” or “radical,” and that didn’t fly, resulting in him being named and told to leave. Source CTV News
Court Painter calls upon resident studio poet Chatterley Grandiose Phosphorus Thunderbuns (Chat GPT) and Press Attache AHM to compose an ode of disgust to mark the recent House of Commotion antics.
Lo! Witness now the spineless,wacko leaders of these parties grand, With heads inflated and hearts of spite, they stand unrepentant from the masses low,For the obscene debacle in the Commons’ show!
‘Twas a spectacle of folly, a carnival of witless acts, A cacophony of foolishness that rent the air! Unbecoming, they don’t confess, and silly too, Absurd, preposterous, and farcical to view!
Ludicrous and nonsensical, pathetic and stupid, Childish behavior unbecoming of statesmen true. O, what a far cry from decorum’s grace, To witness such a sorry, shameful place!
Let us demand, good citizens, for better days, When reason reigns and wisdom guides our ways. Till then, we must endure this sorry plight, And hope for sanity to be our guiding light.
Listen! Behold the sorry state of our world!
From Gaza’s strife to Ukraine & Sudan’s woes unfurled,
And Haiti’s shores with sorrow’s burden pressed,
Yet closer still, our neighbor’s dire test,
Democracy’s core threatened, under duress!
However within our House of Commons, what a sight!
Partisan squabbles tarnish its once-honored light.
Oh, how it veers from its noble goal,
And sullies the dignity of its role!
