After ‘robust’, ‘frank’ and ‘productive’ bloodletting in Wednesday’s caucus meeting, Schrödinger’s Prime Minister finished the day with a loud standing ovation. Who knows what comes next
Liberal Party MPs give Prime Minister Justin Trudeau a standing ovation as he rises to speak during Question Period in the House of Commons on Parliament Hill in Ottawa , Ont., on Oct. 23.
Others offered a few words in clipped tones and walked on. Still others stopped for full back-and-forth exchanges in which they still managed to say absolutely nothing. When someone shouted a question at Marie-Claude Bibeau about how the Prime Minister could possibly get past this crisis, the Minister of National Revenue stopped walking and turned back with a befuddled smile.“I mean, you are amplifying something that is very not to what I think you wish it would be,” she said. The extra words in that sentence were her grasping for exactly the right way to tell everyone to calm down, but somehow, it made the sentiment more perfect.
Mr. Erskine-Smith stopped at the first knot of reporters closest to the caucus room doors and answered a couple of questions. He physically startled when he turned his head and realized that all of the other journalists in the hallway had silently glided over and clustered around him, like a pack of seagulls regarding a single French fry on the beach.
Sameer Zuberi echoed many of the others in answering obvious questions about a caucus in open revolt by underlining that where they all sure agree is what a nasty scourge the Conservative Leader is.He had spoken up at the meeting to report back on what he was hearing from constituents, and he said, “I believe I was heard and I think the rest is to be determined.”
