“OTTAWA \u2014 Much has been made of the political legacy Justin Trudeau has to live up to as he follows in the footsteps of his father, a former prime minister.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/a>On Wednesday, he invoked one of Pierre Elliott Trudeau\u2019s most memorable quips when asked whether he had uttered unparliamentary language.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhat is the nature of your thoughts, gentlemen, when you move your lips in a particular way?\u201d the current prime minister told reporters on his way out of the House of Commons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It hearkens back to 1971, when Pierre Trudeau was accused of \u201cmouthing a four-letter obscenity\u201d at the opposition benches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The elder Trudeau had denied saying anything. When pressed by reporters, he replied: \u201cWhat is the nature of your thoughts, gentlemen, when you say fuddle-duddle or something like that?\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

On Wednesday, his son had the reference ready.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Conservatives had accused him of \u201cdropping an F-bomb,\u201d with MP John Barlow telling the House \u201cit was not fuddle-duddle.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The remark was not picked up by the microphone on the livestream of the proceedings. Deputy Speaker Chris d\u2019Entremont said he did not hear what was said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even the Tories have not yet been clear about what they heard, although Opposition House leader John Brassard maintains about a dozen of his colleagues heard it. They\u2019ve formally asked the Speaker to review Hansard and determine whether unparliamentary language was used.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, the dozen Tories each came up with the separate letter they heard and when combined definitely spelled out fuddle duddle …once again leaving the Great Dominion befuddled!.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That being said, ‘Justin Trudeau like his father will suffer dire consequences from his profane utterance ‘, yelled the Tories in unison!<\/p> <\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
