I was calling for Harpo's head before he was elected. I didn't go around accusing people who supported him rightards or regressives. I find it interesting that conbots say "progressive" as if it was a bad thing.
The 'old stockers' don't like to improve their lot by progressing.
I'm think I have elbow mania figured out.
Trudeau was a teacher of grade school kids and that's just how the opposition was acting so his teacher instincts kicked in and he went to take a kid by the arm to have him sit down and another kid got in the way.
Of course the Con bots are wringing this out for as long as they can.......
And
then he lost it. He almost started a brawl in Parliament. He crossed the floor, manhandled a member of the opposition, elbowed a female MP in the chest, and allegedly told people to “get the **** out of the way.”
It came perilously close to contempt of Parliament.
The joke on Twitter was that Sunny Ways had morphed into Sonny Liston. But Sonny knew when and where not to throw a punch (or elbow). Mr. Trudeau allowed a fit of pique to get the better of him. Leaders aren’t supposed to lose it – especially before the cameras, and most especially when they’re performing as leader of the government in Parliament.
And leadership is the question that lingers over Mr. Trudeau’s head. We know he’s charming. We know his heart is pure. We know he stands for All Good Things. But how does he behave when he’s frustrated and impatient? If his instinct is to throw a hissy fit, how will he react when he’s in a real jam?
Embarrassingly, Mr. Trudeau was frustrated because he was trying to do the
very same thing that the loathsome Conservatives did for all those years – cut off debate, shut down the opposition and take advantage of arcane procedural rules to ram through a controversial piece of legislation that many people think is odious. (In this case, it was the assisted-dying bill.)
