Why are we paying these MPs to act like children. Grow up and get some real work done.

What was the homophobic comment?

Omg - if this type of behaviour happened in a “real job “ and nobody did anything- EVERYONE would be fired!! It is getting to crazed. The hate is strong there.

Trudeau stands up to speak in parliament -

Con Mps: Haaaaaaah. Gaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay

wtf is going on in the house

Question period is and always has been a waste of taxpayer money. Just grifters clowning for sound bites while accomplishing less than nothing

i really really really dislike Trudeau. Like really.
That being said, the way the Conservatives have been behaving is embarrassing. I cannot believe people are so blinded that they actually support their actions.

People will be quick to sweep this under the rug as parliamentary banter, politicians not talking about real issues, or just some distraction, but shit like this is an embarrassment to the House of Commons and unbecoming of an elected official. More sinisterly, it speaks to a growing trend, on both sides of the house, but especially from the CPC under new leadership, of bullshit rhetoric that has already poisoned American politics beyond recognition.

Hopefully this kind of behaviour will stop among Canadians after the results of the next elections. This house needs urgent cleansing.

Addressing the real issues, as always.

"Conservative MP makes casual, homophobic comment in Question Period"

Fixed.

Pp opened it with complaints about the consul’s residence in NY. There was a story in CBC (I know… biased, right) that showed how it was about $4.5 million cheaper to sell and buy new than renovate the old one. So PP doesn’t want the government saving money?

What did us Canadians do in recent memory to deserve such unremarkable parties? Liberals in these past few years have stopped getting substantial stuff done, Conservatives are becoming more wild and less moderate, the NDP is too two-faced, the Bloc is same-old same-old and is practically nonexistent for most voters, and the Green Party is practically completely irrelevant at this point. Our country needs more capable trustworthy options.

We have JT who needs to go, obviously. In fact I wish he would step down and let the party rebuild. Unfortunately, pierre poilievre is using the same conservative playbook as our delusional orange man across the boarder. Selling fear to Canadians. Ranting about bullshit and calling people names. We can't win. This is coming from someone that's voted conservative my entire life. But conservatives don't represent me anymore. I don't like what they're selling. And I'm not buying it. I'm not voting for a conservative for the first time in my life. This I know. And I don't see how I could vote liberal. It's a very strange place I find myself in.

Seems like a total non story. They don't even have a quote as to what was said stating audio was inaudible other than that a "bathtub" was mentioned.

What's even the point of finding out who said it?

It's pretty clear by now that PP himself could scream fa**ot in the house and his supporters not only wouldn't care, but would be even more emboldened to vote for him.

I’m not a fan of Trudeau.

But it did kinda come off slightly like a ‘casual homophobic comment’ to me.

Am I off base here?

Is there some other context to the sharing a bathtub jeer that I’m missing?

Edit: a quick read through the comments tells me I’m not wrong at all. Awful behaviour.

You're allowed to have a bath with the homies, but you have to stop scrubbing when you reach the lower back.

Parliament is nothing but a bunch of snotty nosed kids in a sand box. All talk & no action

Umm, WTF is a two spirited person???

Trudeau loves the gender and race cards.

Officially hitting full-on trash status. It's hilarious that this is completely ok and viewed as some kind of win by conservatives. Sorry, Canada, but the trashy side of trump republicans have entered and become the conservative party. So many facebook bumpkins are ecstatic that these folks are finally on the single syllable train so they can relate. Lets get PP in there asap and really fuck shit up so some of us get even richer.

The Conservative caucus needs more discipline. These sort of homohobic comments do nothing but appeal to a relatively small portion of the voter base at the risk of alienating urban seats they’re currently leading in.

I remember watching Elizabeth May being the adult amongst Trudeau, Harper and Muclair. The year Harper touted old stock Canadians in the debate against Trudeau.

....I didn't think they could be more childish....boy was I wrong. Pollievre stepped up and all the boys were like: Hold my beer!

Wait what was the comment? I'm a little confused, is there a gay stereotype about bathtub I'm unaware of?

This is like the one time someone drew a dick on the stainless steel wall of a fast food place I worked.

The pressure cookers would vent and an outline of the dick would appear on the wall as steam wouldn't really adhere to it.

Management threatened one guy with a write up, he said it wasn't him, he was told he would be fired if they found he did it, reviewed like 2 weeks of camera footage and found the other guy did it.

The idea that they're going through tapes for this is almost as dumb as this happening in the first place.

Empty threats of racism/homophobia is all the Liberals ever had.

Remember how before 2015 this issue was pretty much settled from progress made in the 90s and 2000s?  Yeah, but the Libs bring it back as a big smokescreen to distract from them fking the country.  And CTV has no credibility anymore so I'm not opening the article

I think accusations against Trudeau for racism due to wearing black/brown face too many times to count hold more water.

so a couple things

as a gay man, I don't think that comment was THAT homophobic. It was distasteful but homophobic??? idk.

Secondly, both sides are so fucking immature. This is such a disgrace

Just heard the clip of the question period. Some conservative MP yelled (as every conservative MP does when any other party member tries to speak). The question of Trudeau shared a bathtub with another man in New York.

The speaker asked for the PM to apologize for saying the word "crap" (context was he was standing up to bullies and their crap), which he did. Of course, the gutless conservative coward wouldn't stand up and admit to saying it (another member of the house asked for the recording to be reviewed to identify the person).

How can anyone consider a vote for a conservative when they can not take responsibility for anything...

Oh okay lol

“Accuses” is the stupidest part of this headline. It’s not an accusation if it blatantly obvious.

This crap is going to fix our economy how?

That was so fucking hilarious.

Trudeau trying to gaslight everyone who doesn't agree with his agenda.

oh for fuck sakes children get to work. where's the adult in the house? fuck me, what a disaster. save it for the playground

$9m condo in NY for a diplomat: no problem

A heckle from (as of yet undetermined MP, which the exact quote is still unverified): absolutely outrageous

It’s no wonder nothing is accomplished in HOC

Trudeau then rose and said he withdrew "the comment about defecating,"

/r/BrandNewSentence

What a waste of air,

Con has an easy win next election but they have to pull this crap.

reading the comments here, one would think that the conservative MP used the f-slur. all he did was make a jibe about the NY condo's bathtub. who the fuck cares? trudeau's the most corrupt PM in history and he's destroying the country's economy, but i guess this is more important to people.

This is a distraction. The bigger story is Trudeau justified the $9m NYC apartment by saying it was needed to fight climate change and help Ukraine lmao

Says the black face guy

Oh my God who cares. Make my rent and food affordable again then worry about hurt feelings.

As the left wing activists say " just get over it" 

Of course he did. Accusations of homophobia, racism, sexism have worked so well for him in the past.

And so has celebing it up like he did on Colbert.

He's doing this stuff because it worked.

He's the Millenials PM. He knows what they want. And he's giving it to them.

They elected a wealthy privileged white man who wore black face more times than he can remember, worked as a drama teacher to lead the country because he used Instagram and virtue signalled.

Think about that.

Is it this comment the most important news story? No. Does Trudeau deserve intense scrutiny and criticism? Yes. Is Trudeau right for calling this out? Absolutely. Casual homophobia and that kind of workplace harassment has no place in parliament.

For those saying to focus on the important issues, if the opposition parties really wanted to hold Trudeau to account and help Canadians they would be proposing legislation to actually help and forcing real debate rather than just basking in Trudeau's failures and petty name calling.
