Canada's Opposition Leader Ejected from House for Calling PM 'Wacko'

Canada's opposition Conservative Party leader Pierre Poilievre was ejected from the House of Commons on Tuesday for calling Prime Minister Justin Trudeau "a wacko." Poilievre frequently criticizes the Liberal government's carbon tax, which he believes is contributing to inflation.

The Conservatives are currently leading in polls, and an election is expected next year.

In the Canadian House of Commons, Conservative MP Poilievre criticized Prime Minister Trudeau's policies, calling him a "wacko prime minister." Speaker Fergus, a Liberal, deemed the comment unparliamentary and asked Poilievre to withdraw it.

Poilievre refused and was ordered to leave the House for the rest of the sitting.

Poilievre has a contentious relationship with Trudeau, who views him as an extremist and a supporter of former U.S. President Trump's MAGA movement.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau accused Conservative Party leader Pierre Poilievre of associating with far-right groups, calling it irresponsible and dangerous for democracy.

Ejections of the leader of the official opposition from the House of Commons are rare, and it's unclear when last it happened.
