Speaker Kicks Poilievre Out of the Commons After He Calls PM a ‘Wacko’ in Tense Question Period Exchange

In a heated exchange during question period, Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre was kicked out of the House of Commons by Speaker Greg Fergus. The incident occurred after Poilievre referred to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau as a “wacko” for supporting British Columbia’s policy of decriminalizing some hard drugs in an attempt to reduce overdose-related deaths.

The tension escalated when Fergus asked Poilievre to withdraw his “unparliamentary language.” Poilievre refused, suggesting he would replace “wacko” with “extremist” or “radical.” Fergus promptly removed him from the chamber.

Following Poilievre’s ejection, the entire Conservative caucus left the Commons chamber in protest. Trudeau, who was also involved in name-calling during the exchange, accused Poilievre of courting “white nationalist groups” and criticized his past actions.

The incident highlights the intensity of political debates and the importance of maintaining decorum within the parliamentary setting. As the fallout continues, Canadians are closely watching how this clash will impact the political landscape.
