Maybe they should start checking MPs bags before they go into the HOC. I watched a piece on a disturbance in the Chinese Assembly. They were fighting, pushing and shoving. They caught on the camera a woman throwing water from a water bottle on the combatants.

That seems to be a time honoured tradition of MPs over the years. They learn it in kindergarten and need to re-lean the skill to be an MP. Always applaud when your party is doing something no matter what. Yell and boo if its the other party.

Seems pretty clear that Mr Trudeau has some serious issues with women in positions of power.

He's an angry man and really should seek therapy

It's a common condition among people who are used to having their own way all their lives and have never learned to handle adversity. Not a big deal, it will blow over.

Justin needs to admit that he has a problem.. That is the first step to recovery, but like any addict, he will have this problem for the rest of his days


I think he probably already has, hence his profuse apology. I think he's probably in a pretty sharp learning curve right now. It would be good if he has enough humility to go to Stephen Harper to get some advice.

LOL I guess if your party has no other purpose than fun and games in the house ....

If one were the sensitive type, one may feel they were insensitive to people with disabilities.

I did not check the source of the link. My bad.

Injury lawyers from Diamond and Diamond are pursuing a class action lawsuit against Trudeau and the House of Commons for $100 million and are reminding MPs that if they have been injured in a Justin Trudeau-related Parliamentary accident to call 1-800-SUEJTNOW.

Trudeau's attempt to start Parliamentary Fight Club backfires - The Beaverton - North America's Trusted Source of News

OTTAWA - Justin Trudeau admitted this morning that yesterday’s effort to finally get the House of Commons Fight Club started was a poor choice on his part.
“I just thought that at the end of a long day of debating bills, my colleagues and I would unwind with some carefully orchestrated violence,” said Trudeau at a press conference. “I realize now that I should have asked Mr. Brown and Ms. Brosseau if they wanted to join before I just got things started.”
“I am Jack’s deep feelings of regret,” he added.
The PMO elaborated that it was ‘disappointed’ in opposition parties for being so vocal in their criticism of Trudeau’s actions, given the first rule of Fight Club.

What the row or this thread?

Have none of you outraged sillies ever accidentally bumped someone in a crowd? Man, if that is all it takes to get your panties in a knot, your balls must hurt all the time.

A lot of sour grapes is all it is Cliffy. He's apologized, that should be the end of the matter, no one was physically harmed.

A little late.................the N.D.P. has looked slimy for years! :)

I do believe this was a one-off, Frankie - could be wrong he does have his Daddy's temper - still, I highly doubt the House will see any fisticuffs or flying missiles.

I'll tell you what bothers me most about the entire affair and what still puzzles me. The fact that this PM is the most media savvy PM we have ever had - the lad lives for the limelight and is very adept at manipulating the media to his own advantage and at seemingly every opportunity. So what happened? He had to know that this would become public almost instantaneously and that it would look very bad for his sunny-ways image. Still, he crossed the floor, grabbed a member's elbow, dragged him through his colleagues while elbowing another MP (oh and don't try and tell me that he didn't know he'd elbowed someone. You would have to be insensate not to know you had done so) and without so much as a glance back at the person. It was as if a switch got turned off and a totally different person stepped forth leaving havoc in his wake. Imagine him going off during an important conference with world leaders - just imagine it.

Virtually everyone reaches a point at times when they've had enough and acts impetuously. It's not right but by the same token it's not the end of the world! He's done worse things since he came to power.

Do you really think that he is 'in power'? The Liberals are, but I doubt he's making a lot of decisions.

Seriously, I get the impression that he is being manipulated by people in the shadows. When he offered either the first or second apology, he seemed to have difficulty finding the correct words to express his regret. I am serious when I say that he must have handlers. I suspect he will have a "secretary" with him more often to curtail embarrassing moments like that.

For me, I don't see him accidentally striking Brosseau as the problem. Even Mulcair's attempt to get a rise out of Trudeau was no big thing. Heck, if anything, that was to be expected.

Trudeau leaving his seat and attempting to pull Gordon Brown through the gaggle of NDP members was the problem. Sit still. Keep your mouth shut. You just didn't belong to that moment of time.

You got the wrong media attention Justy. And not at all statesmanlike. Temper, temper!
