OTTAWA — Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre was kicked out of the House of Commons Tuesday after refusing to apologize for calling Prime Minister Justin Trudeau a series of unparliamentary words such as “wacko” and “extremist.”
“Challenging the chair is against the rules of this House,” he told Thomas, who reiterated that Fergus was acting in a “disgraceful” manner. Fergus expelled her shortly after. “There are a couple of things which are going on today which are not acceptable and I ask all members to please control themselves,” Fergus said before asking Poilievre to retract the term “wacko.”
The exchange between an increasingly frustrated but stoic Fergus continued as Poilievre kept responding to Fergus’s requests to withdraw his comments by alternating his description of Trudeau between “wacko”, “radical” and “extremist.” The House then erupted into a cacophony of noise as the Conservative leader left the chamber, followed slowly by his entire caucus.
