Oh my....... kind of "funny"..... just because there are some (certainly not all) from there who want to criticize our politicians. What's that old saying about cleaning up your own back yard?

Be a prism, spreading God's light and love, not a mirror reflecting the world's hatred.

Move on folks, nothing to see here, much todo about nothing........... Just the PM of a country, assaulting members of the Parliament.
Now, on the other hand, had that been Trump...... our Canadian witches would have been all over it.

Yes, Prime Minister Trudeau did elbow the opposition member, and apologized for his action.

In Canada, most of us vote in our federal election and then expect the winning party to get on with the governing of our country. If we have an issue on which we don't agree with the direction the government is going, we tend to write letters/emails to our members of parliament and the prime minister's office.

Some prefer to post negative statements in social media which may make them feel better but are not effective in getting the 'ear' of the people in power.


btw: The provincial government in Ontario is Liberal, not NDP.

Right on, Liszt... but one must note here that this is old news... it happened months ago!! let's consider the "apologies" Prime Minister Justin Trudeau made for acting like a dork in the House of Commons. The first is the unscripted one he gave immediately following the Wednesday evening fracas, in which he grabbed Conservative whip Gord Brown's arm and elbowed New Democrat MP Ruth Ellen Brosseau in the chest. The more immediate of two "apologies" he attempted that evening, I'd argue it's the one that Far from apologizing, Trudeau is blaming the opposition and giving an elaborate justification for his actions.

He's not admitting he grabbed Brown or hurt Brosseau best describes how he felt, as opposed to his third, scripted apology the next day. Far from apologizing, Trudeau is blaming the opposition and giving an elaborate justification for his actions.

He's not admitting he grabbed Brown or hurt Brosseau. He only apologizes, "if anyone feels" they were "impacted" by his actions, which doesn't concede anyone was impacted. It wasn't his "intention" to hurt anyone, which isn't an admission anyone was hurt. Although he tried again apologizing the next day but in fact on both counts, they were considered 'back-handed' apologies.

I don't know what we did to deserve this 'dork'!

Oh and folks here's another one for you, our not so brilliant opposition NDP party voted in October as 'Islamic Heritage Month' in the Province of Ontario!!! OMG

Oh how true, Rich. Even some of my old Liberal friends (yes, we're still friends lol), have come to their senses lately!!! I doubt they will be voting for PM Trudeau in the next election!

Rocket I am glad that you corrected Rich on that. I don't think NDP has ever been big in Ontario. But stranger things have happened considering what happened in Alberta which was conservative for years.
