Canada: bitter clash in parliament over Trudeau ‘wacko’ jibe

Parliamentary questions dominated by partisan attacks a day after Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre ejected from chamber

Canada’s Liberal and Conservative parties have redoubled their parliamentary clash a day after the Tory leader was ejected from the House of Commons for calling Justin Trudeau a “wacko”.

Under the guise of a debate over British Columbia’s decision to decriminalize some hard drugs, the parliamentary question period on Wednesday was dominated by deeply partisan attacks.
