Sounds like rightfully calling out questionable comments. Some how this will turn into Trudeau being desperate other than the clearly pathetic comments from adults we are expecting to run the country.
Poilievre set the tone for the conduct of Parliament these days. He has called his opponents whacko, fake, phoney, corrupt, sellout, and more. Yet I’m always amazed that whenever someone like Trudeau or Singh matches Poilievre’s energy, even once, Poilievre’s fans lose their minds.
Poilievre as Prime Minister is going to create a very toxic era of parliament. Shame.
Honestly, this exchange was good. Whatever else Trudeaus flaws, and there are many, we need more of this.
Stand up and make them be accountable for their crap.
Let’s hope they do review the tapes and figure out who was saying what, because from the details it sounds yet again like the conservatives are going down the path of being brazen hooligans who don’t even pretend to care about representing people
The actual comment was a crude joke about Trudeau joining Tom Clark in the hand beaten copper soaking bathtub in his newly purchased $9 million official residence in NY, for those interested.
No mention or accusation of slurs. I don’t, personally, feel that this comment was homophobic or gender/sex/sexuality specific.
Still childish and tawdry, and unworthy of our House. Then again, that description can be applied to many Members, as well. Such is the state of our politics.
Edit: no need to get feisty with me. I just thought people might like to know what was said and I added my two cents. I wouldn’t perceive it as homophobic were the quip directed at me, is all. Then again, I’m progressive and perhaps not getting a dog whistle or something.
I watched question period today and the comment in question suggested that Prime Minister Trudeau and the Consul General of Canada, Tom Clarke, in NYC shared the hand hammered copper bathtub in the newly purchased official stateside residence. That said, this newly purchased residence is millions less than the one that was sold to purchase it. Just sharing information.
A CPC making cowardly, disgusting comments degrading people for their sexuality is quite a look. I hope they can identify them and throw the book at them. Likely just a censure, but calling this person out and making it known their idea of humour is a good start.

>“I will happily withdraw my comment if the member who suggested that I was sharing a bathtub with Tom Clark stands up, takes responsibility for his comment, and withdraw,” the prime minister responded.
[Apparently the comment from the conservatives was suggesting the PM and Tom Clark are sharing a bathtub. ](https://www.ctvnews.ca/politics/trudeau-accuses-conservatives-of-casual-homophobic-comments-in-question-period-1.7051864)
The Conservatives continue to stoop lower and lower. They are now basically using gay as an insult. I hate time timeline.
Rather than focus on housing or any important issue, Pierre is calling the PM gay…
So according to another commentator the alleged comment was a heckle of someone suggesting that Trudeau and Clark shared the bathtub. Suggestive? Yes. Inappropriate? Sure. Unparliamentarian? Absolutely. Homophobic? Nah, I don’t really buy it.
I’m not a fan of casual homophobia myself, my preference is ranked competitive homophobia. Trudeau’s restraint should be applauded however for not asserting that the comment was also racist and misogynistic.

The Speaker won’t go after those shouting slurs, just those calling it out. The Speaker seems incompetent, allowing the Conservatives especially of getting away with murder in there.
