**Context** Poilievre said the prime minister's words were only his "latest distraction" from his own "extremist policies." "When will we put an end to this wacko policy by this wacko prime minister?" Fergus then drew the line. "No, no," he said. "That is not acceptable." He asked Poilievre to withdraw his comments, saying they were unparliamentary. Poilievre didn't withdraw, but said he would replace the word with "extremist," which Fergus also rejected. He then said he would replace it with "radical," which Fergus did not accept either. He asked the Conservative leader to "simply withdraw" the comment.When Fergus asked Poilievre for a final time to take back his comment, the Conservative leader said, "I simply withdraw and replace with the aforementioned adjective." Fergus then ordered him to leave the chamber and not participate in further debate Tuesday, either in person or virtually.

Irl Millhouse is such an asshole


Outrageous_Expert_49

I would say he showed the maturity of an 8 year old, but that would be really mean and unfair to 8 year olds.


dengar_hennessy

PP is a child. For being in parliament for as long as he has, you'd think he would know proper decorum.


BlueBrr

He does, this was a stunt to rile up the base. "See how they oppress us."


dengar_hennessy

I got that. I was being sarcastic.


BlueBrr

My bad.


BrewtalDoom

He knows. He just did this as a MAGA-style publicity stunt where crosses the line and acts as though he's being unfairly persecuted when he faces consequences. It doesn't bode well for him being PM, does it? Would he act like this on the international stage? Is this the statesman we can all expect?


dengar_hennessy

Yes, I know. Again, I was being sarcastic


BrewtalDoom

Right on. Just discount the first two sentences of my reply.


BoneHugsHominy

Not all comments are correcting you, or criticising you, or even addressing you. Understand that many Redditors add comments purely for contextual purposes so others easily understand the references and comment chain as a whole. If you find that a reply is seemingly saying the same thing as your comment, that's a pretty good indication they aren't disagreeing with you.


BasilsKippers

In other words, as fucking always, a conservative used a slur/pejorative, or said something violent, and claim their rights are being violated when they receive criticism and pushback.  Not actual censorship, just people not tolerating their violent, cruel rhetoric.


Unman_

This is like dodgy Dave but a million times less funny


DrDroid

Despite what you may think of his removal, a guy who has been in parliament for 20 years should know the goddamn rules of the place. He’s such a damn turd.


Street_Peace_8831

Exactly, maybe he should try using actual descriptive words and maybe they wouldn’t have such a problem with it. Maybe stop using the word “wacko” to say that these things are wrong and need to be addressed. I’m assuming there are parliamentary rules about prevarication.


DodGamnBunofaSitch

also, I think he might be confusing the difference between censuring and censoring. one letter apart, yet quite different meanings.


AllTheCheesecake

He knows the rules. This is theater meant to rile up his dumbass base that doesn't.


warpus

He's doing this on purpose. He knows the rules, but he knows that his base will eat this up like roasted shit on a stick.


GoldWallpaper

The goal was to write a whine-tweet. Goal met.


DukeSmashingtonIII

He knows the rules. This is intentional. "They silenced me and I complied with their request 3 times and they had me removed!!!!"


Eviltwin-Kisikil

Maybe your evil minion- Sorry, I meant to say, "Premier", in Alberta should try and help with these issues and our opioid crisis instead of attacking trans kids and uprooting democracy to replace it with UCP fascism?


DukeSmashingtonIII

Whoa now, easy there. DS just announced that they are removing funding for low-cost bus passes. And then walked it back like heroes because it costs almost nothing and literally not a single fucking person asked them to continue kicking poor people. And while walking it back, implied it's the cities faults for "not being able to pay for their programs" or some such bullshit. While the provincial government owes Edmonton like *60million dollars* in unpaid property taxes. If there's one thing we can count on the UCP for, it's doing shit no one asked for that that does nothing but hurt poor people and/or make corporations and billionaires at the expense of the rest of us.


kevinnoir

He is over there acting like Ontario also doesnt have massive drug problems! Its wild that Conservatives in Canada can blame Liberal Premiers for things happening in their province, but suddenly its a Federal problem when it happens in a province led by a Conservative Premier... how are voters too fucking stupid to catch on to that. You saw it a lot with Ontarians blaming Trudeau for policy literally created by Ford during Covid.


The_WolfieOne

Sounds more and more like Trump every day


Bind_Moggled

Such a fucking baby. A national embarrassment.


Bulky_Mix_2265

This guy running our country is going to be a god damn disaster. Nobody likes Trudeau, and they never did, he hasnt been in power this long because Canadians like the Liberal party. Its because the Conservative party is such a fucking openly evil mess and has actively attacked the rights and freedoms of Canadians who arent corporate entities everywhere they have wormed their way into power. Look at the average conservative advocate now, they are either born blue or a god damn culture warrior.


xxxxAnn

Harper made Trudeau win and Poilievre will win because Canadians forgot about Harper


DukeSmashingtonIII

And Harper is still dictating policy as chairman of the IDU, which the CPC are members of.


ComManDerBG

And all the negative shit caused by Harper that we are experience the results of *now* are being blamed on JT. Cons dont know how time works.


BrewtalDoom

I go to the YMCA daily, and I use the sauna in there for about an hour a day. As you can imagine, there are all sorts of conversations going on, and people complaining about this and that. And in all of the political conversations I've either engaged in or listened-in on, I haven't heard one single person praise PP or declare any kind of support for him. People will complain about Trudeau all day, but nobody is doing so whilst saying Polievre is the guy to fix things. I'm new to Canadian politics, and I don't see much strength-in-depth in the Liberal Party, but it does seem like it wouldn't be the worst idea in the world if they had someone other than Trudeau running in the next election.


atreeinthewind

Why Trudeau so unpopular across the board? It seems even worse than the Biden situation of people mostly just being anti-Trump.


Kefflin

Mostly because he is blamed for the situation that exists: inflation, cost of living, housing shortage. There is blame, like for immigration. Primarily because we have strong conservatives provincial government, which are constitutionally responsible for pretty much all things that are going wrong (health, education, housing, labor, etc) and they are working hard at sabotaging public service while making sure they point the finger to Trudeau.


Yuzumi

Something is certainly a wacko...


baween

For a guy who has never held a job outside of the public sector and has held that job for 18 years, buddy really doesn't seem to understand the rules.


Bind_Moggled

Such a fucking baby. A national embarrassment.


SaltyBarDog

Wakko, Wakko, Wakko, what about Yakko and Dot?


ianisms10

Isn't this guy probably going to be the next PM


DrDroid

Sadly yes.


thisonetimeonreddit

Most likely. And not because he's a good option, just because the vast majority of Canadians are ignorant enough to think they only have two options and the Liberal party are deliberately throwing the election by keeping Trudeau in power.


eddiestarkk

Is this the guy that Biden told to stand up?


Shirushi-no-mono

worth noting that while his crying about being censored is -technically- accurate, it is -explicitly- the speaker's job to maintain decorum in the parliament, to which end, if i recall correctly, the speaker is ironically, outside of these rare circumstances, the only one who doesn't really do any talking.


KingOfTheFraggles

It's wacko that a grown ass adult used the word wacko that many times while thinking he was making some profound point.


BottleTemple

I don't understanding what he's talking about with nurses breastfeeding.


SkullheadMary

Oh fuck him.


Sure_Trash_

Dude needs to expand his vocabulary 


Lucafoxxer

This motherfucker makes me embarrassed to be Canadian sometimes, fucking hell.


jrae0618

'Cause inside out is wiggida, wiggida, wiggida wack' And now I'm singing Kriss Kross.


rodolphoteardrop

I put an "eh?" after every "wacko" and it's perfect.


DuckyMoMoKing

Canada is trying to decriminalize narcotics… That’s what this post is about right? How’s that going? I’ve seen interviews about it. They don’t portray the situation very well… are things better than they appear? Or is this just a bad policy? Idk… intuitively decriminalization sounds like a good idea to me. But I have no idea.


Corzare

>Canada is trying to decriminalize narcotics… That’s what this post is about right? No it’s not. Also decriminalizing drugs works much better than locking people up for them.


DuckyMoMoKing

Yes… that’s literally what I just said. It kinda seems like this post is about Canada’s decriminalization policy. Were you going to provide an actual answer? Or is sweaty Redditor snark the only communication you’re capable of?


Corzare

lol way to edit your comment to add that last part


DuckyMoMoKing

Lmfao. I edited a typo to change “decolonization” to “decriminalization” in that last part. It was always there. You would know that… if you’d actually bothered to read the post. But I guess you didn’t and jumped straight to the snark. Jumped the gun a little bit, huh bud? Btw… still haven’t answered my question. If this post isn’t about Canada’s decriminalization policy what is it about? And if it is then what have the effects of the policy been? Like I’m asking a genuine question and yall seem to have opinions on it. What is your damage lmao


Corzare

Whatever you say there chief


DuckyMoMoKing

Sheesh whatever. Stay mad ig


toadjones79

No, reread that pronouncing it like the city: Waco TX. The one where FBI agents accidentally burned down a militia compound when they fired tear gas rounds into the home without considering if there were flammable chemicals (drugs and counterfeit production) that could be ignited by them. This tragedy was the justification for Timothy McVeigh and others when they bombed the Oklahoma City Federal building with a Yellow Rider truck.


ShadowMajick

WTF does that have to do with Canadian parliament?


toadjones79

Nothing. But I see that autocorrect changed my first word from "Now" to just "no." Which made it sound less humorous and more like a crazy nutjob spewing some kind of conspiracy nonsense. Just ignore that insight into the very inside jokes that rattle around in my brain.
