Mulcair is correct. Fergus should step down.
And how come Trudeau was able to call Poilievre "spineless" and not have to retract the statement.
Also the NDP have already levied the same insults at Pierre and his party without being reprimanded for it. Blatant bias
@Moby-fp2nzback that up. You do what Trudeau tells you to cuz you are not willing to think for yourself.
One of the two too spineless to call an election
Because everyone represents Trudeau and bends the rules. Dictatorship at its finest
@Moby-fp2nz spineless? He neuters Trudeau easily and often. Sends the bytch running from the house
Fergus should be removed. Plain and simple.
I disagree he was being completely neutral Pierre should have simply withdrawn the statement you have to respect the authority of the chair.
WAHHHHHHH FREEDUMBBBBB
@@thesunmanhe literally used the word withdraw. To not allow him to replace the word is a major power trip. He would not have acted the same way with the prime minister. Not a chance
Fergus is the worst Speaker ever. What a joke he is !!!
DEI? and I am Jamaican born and a person of colour. so back off Racists.
I AGREE with you 10)0000000000000000000% It is a joke ,,who pick him to be house speaker 😡😡who?????
Trudeau@@stk6755
2nd worst behind thomas bain
It nicely complements the worst PM ever, don't you think? All their careers are on borrowed time at this point. Soon it will be spring cleaning in Ottawa.
Fergus already got his one pass on his bias. This time he needs to resign
Hear Hear !!!
Here hear!!!
Here here 🙌
Resign Fergus
An NDP member used the word wacko in 2022 and never got booted out
I suspect when asked to rephrase it they NDP MP did so, Pierre was asked to rephrase his words to not be insulting twice refused to do so. He wasn't kicked out for calling Trudeau a wacko, he was kicked out for repeatedly refusing to accept the Speakers Authority. Context matters.
@@gyorgyor7765 Pierre did rephrase it and called him an extremist instead, try to keep up junior.
@@gyorgyor7765The Speaker overreached and demanded NOT a rephrase, but a COMPLETE RETRACTION of the statement despite the leader of the opposition offering various satisfactory alternatives.
@@gyorgyor7765 You def are not born and raised here! Lmao!
@gyorgyor7765 he was kicked out after retracting and replacing the word...facts matter.
Greg Fergus has zero credibility and can no longer be trusted as speaker of the house. He should step down now.
Diversity hire.
DEI hires can’t be trusted from the outset.
You guys have no idea what you're talking about. You simply repeat what your wonder boy Poilievre says and can't think for yourselves.
@@rickbaker8188 Sure, whatever you say Ricky. Its very rare that I agree with NDP Tom Mulcair but that's politics for you.
@@296801 Does that really matter? Fergus has done a poor job as speaker and that is where the focus should be.
Fregus you need to RESIGN.
The Speaker has to step down because he is biased!
💯 biased
💯
Conservatives support cancel culture now? 😂
And a chimpanzee
He won't but you are 💯right.
He needs to be removed
He's not fit for the job
Do you mean corrupt Trudeau , Fergus , Arif Virani , MacKinnon or all the Liberals ? .
who?
@@siycles Greg Fergus who else lol
Never liked the platypus
As a DEI employee, being capable for a job isn’t a requirement.
Trudeau is much worse than just a “wacko”
Yup... Fergus is proving to be a baffoon. PP played him like a fiddle.
It only makes Pollievre even more popular since he obviously made a factual statement.
no it doesn't
Yes it does Corky.....
get lost your opinion means nothing
get lost, your opinions mean nothong
@@GPz84 No it doesn’t Lionel.
Our Leader of the Opposition, Pierre Poiievre, represents a significant voice of the Canadian population and is a key figure In our democratic process. Not only was Poilievre treated with disrespect yesterday, millions of Canadians who support him were denied their voice in the House of Commons by a blatant partisan Speaker of the House.
Fergus is a lackey to JT. He does what he is told by his boss.
Of course. You can't go against the Furher.
Remember that cringe wink Trudeau gave him when he was elected speaker?
Such tired tropes.
He need to resign
Fergus is a wacko. Same as the PM.
Agreed!!! Fergus must step down and Trudeau must go now and let the real men step up and run our country..
you want Trudeau to go now.. then you get Liberal Gov for another 4 years... but thats probably what you want right.
@@CryptoActivator No. They're saying they agree with a former leader of the federal NDP. That's what they're saying.
Bring it home!
@@CryptoActivator hell nah they aint winning, most dislike them.
who's that
While I'm no NDP fan, I must concede that Tom Mulcair consistently preaches wisdom.
He’s one of the few voices of reason in a wilderness of insanity.
Mulcair makes sense. I wish NDP nowadays was an independent party with a spine instead of just being an extension to LPC.
NDP has never really had a political chance of leading the country. Wish Poilievre would develop a spine and use diplomacy instead of more blame and aggression.
This liveral gov has destroyed CANADA
Give me a break. The same whining was going in about Harper. Poilirvre needs to offer a real, levelheaded alternative to be taken seriously. Diplomacy, not just doubling doen aggressively.
I agree with polievre I have been a paramedic for 15 years and the amount is drug death is heart breaking . We need to change course too many are dying and to expelled for saying this is childish
Ending “safe supply” would result in a lot more death given the extent of the contaminated street supply. As for prison time, meh. It’s fair to call for it. It’s another to cost it all out and highlight the cost of building more jails, hiring more bureaucracy and hiring more judges and staff to process the cases faster and clear backlogs. Only when you have the full costs can a full discussion be had. Otherwise, it’s just virtue signalling.
@@McLovin1759end safe supply and let nature sort itself out. Simple.
@@McLovin1759 its a self correcting problem, Liberals need to get the hell out of the way,
@@McLovin1759 Clueless..did you even hear the reports coming out of BC? Get informed.
@@peteenns67 I have said that for years .Eventually we will run out of Customers.
Fergus is finished step-down now.
Mulcair I am not a fan of yours but you've impressed me with this one. Thank You.
Canadian parliament is a clown show
Then run for office.
It’s what happens when a government is going downhill. Trudeau is gonna spectacularly destroy the Liberal party.
the speaker of the house needs to be retired asap....very highhanded and disgusting
The speaker is suppose to be non bias he definitely sides with the liberals. The PM called Canadians all kinds of names and that is ok???
What kind of names?
@@Ketowskitwo that come to mind: racist and misogynists... there are many more.
Tom Mulcair is right on. How can the speaker continue any longer?
The speaker did the same thing to MP Thomas. Both she and Pierre withdrew and the speaker went full partisan.
He SHOULD be replaced, but there's nobody in the Liberal Party who would be suitable for the job.
So Cons have destroyed the Canadian government and they haven't even gotten in yet?
Exactly. Replace him with a competent non-liberal
The speaker doesn't have to be liberal!
The King should fire him and dissolve this parliament. Why do we keep these Crown prerogatives on the books if we aren't ever going to use them?
@@peteenns67 Who selects the speaker?
In my opinion, the common denominator in EVERY scandal is Trudeau! Everything falls on his doorstep, every time!
He absolutely did. Fergus should step down just like his predecessor. Then Trudeau should take a walk in the snow.
This guy has shown blatant favoritism several times now. Apologized & excused from responsibility twice. This is the 3rd time. 3 strikes yer out !!!
Thank you Tom You r absolutely correct and non biased
Fergus not only should resign but he should be 'walked out' of the building by security as is done in the private sector.
Pierre = Common Sense, Justin = Wacko... 🙀🙀🙀
Yet Fergus stays ! Canadian politics is Done ! We need an independent party ! One that is actually for Canada !
The fact that even this guy is saying Piere being ejected was wrong just shows how absurd our government has become. This speaker needs to resign, but won't until Piere is PM. Get out and vote. Bring our country back. Hope Ontario and Quebec make the right choice. We voted for this, we can vote ourselves out.
OH Absolutely ! When i saw he was becoming Speaker of the House of Commons of Canada , i was shocked , exactly for that reason
What do you think about Trudeau's reaction and expressions when they dragged Fergus into the house that day, Trudeau SMILING( from ear to ear), WINKING, giving Fergus the TONGUE, Fergus is doing the JOB Trudeau put him there to do, and he should be REMOVED,💯⚠️🐀🐀🐀'S⚠️💯
I had forgotten about all of that.
I rarely agree with Tom, but he is bang on.
Wacko is polite compared to what most Canadians call him and his minion
He has to step down
Justin's bus is pretty big. There's plenty of room under there for Fergus too.
Bien dit Monsieur Mulcaire! Nice to see someone in Ottawa call a spade a spade. 🇨🇦
I’m old enough to remember when Trudeau called Peter Kent a piece of Sh***. But wacko is suddenly unparliamentary? Give me a break…
He had a post it note on the document he picked up to read expelling Pollieve !! It’s like he was looking for a way to read that from his notes
He should stepdown!
Agree!
His majesty doesn't rule Canada anymore. That whole court system is trash.
Fergus is sooooooo partisan. Its blantant, like hes not even trying to be honest. That job came with so many strings attached.
He needs to go.
Sadly there is no other party that will support the conservatives in asking for the speaker to be investigated for his conduct yesterday.
Fergus Resign...
Corruption is real and we're all awake to witness it.
Should be fired
wow, Singh agreed with the budget...big suprise
YES common sense is not surprising
@@philster6383you like higher taxes, spending MORE then you have?!
He needs his pension
@@kaneox123 LMAO sure PP is going to lower taxes and balance the budget. Tell me what programs is he going to cut........ NO answer because PP is all slogans and NO policies
@@philster6383 they've tanked your country. be angry about it.
I'd like to see the swear book of unparllamentary language. "Wacko" is there but "spineless" is not?
when he made a mistake last time, we gave him a chance. not this time. he must go!
Wow Tom defending Pierre just wow
The Clown Show of Canadian parliament goes on. No decisions made. Back and to banter. .. Pathetic !
Justin trudeau needs to get go now!
Fergus is was a joke always has....massive ego...wako fergus!!! Lol
Thank you, Tom!
Mr. Fergus seemed to have the ejection document awfully close and handy for something that has never been done before. And with a post-it on it no less
The Canadian government in entirety should quit. Time to go back to just local governments taking care of local issues. Canada has fallen as a country, its one giant joke and a bad one at that
The speaker shouldn't be allowed to mute the microphones
I finally agree with Munclair
You should’ve said “criminally”wrong for what he’s done to Canada 🇨🇦
DEI
Greg Fergus should be fired immediately but won't.
I think the role of speaker is of such importantce, that merely the perception of bias should be sufficient for the speaker to relinquish their post. I think somebody who shared this respect of the position would agree with this and would have willingly surrendered the position already
Fergus must resign !
Face it guys the Liberals will replace him with another stooge. None of this matters.
Kind of sad when Mulclair is a voice of reason for these days considering he is NDP. The NDP seemed so moderate when he was their leader compared to now.
What has happened to SCOTUS down south should be a cautionary tale about what happens when a body that is supposed to remain neutral in order to be effective, becomes partisan.
Fergus is not acting as the speaker of the house, he is the speaker of the Liberal Patty/NDP.
If they don't think the Canadian public sees this partisanship from Ferguson, they're wrong. He needs to step down.
What should we expect from a DEI hire?
I'll never vote NDP but I really like Tom Mulcair
Is this silent Canadian racism being expressed here?
What do you expect from a DEI hire?
Only the speaker has the authority to enforce the standing orders. Why should he resign for doing his duties? If members want to oust him, they can bring a motion to the floor. This is how the HOC works in a democracy. Sure it has never happened before. Canada has never ever had a "leader" like this one before. 😢
Mulclair deserves a lot of respect for all his hard work.
You know you messed up when even the former NDP leader calls you out…
Pierre Poilievre should not apologize to the Liberals and NDP governments. How disgusting of this Waco prime Minister and his goones. It's okay for Trudeau to call Pierre Spineless??. Sickening.
Why was MP Rachael Thomas kicked out? The speaker asked her to withdraw her statement. She replied, “Mr. Speaker, I stated that the Chair is acting in a disgraceful manner, I withdraw”. Yet, Fergus kicked her out
Canada is officially a banana republic
Glad to see that Mulcair finally called a Spade a “Spade”…
Time to go. Obviously he cannot be impartial
Speaker Greg Fergus should step down, but at the very least, apologize.
Fergus is deeply unfit for the job.
Fergus should be disqualified!!! This was very unprofessional
Nobody is going to respect Fergus again, he should step down
Fergus is a Liberal/ NDP supporter which is not his posting. Fergus should " Step down " as Mulcair suggests!
Corrupt much? Rosemary’s baby doing his job
Never have a seen a a shower of failed politicians!!!
This is just another example of why the position of speaker should not come from any party but instead be a paid non-partisan position of someone of stellar integrity.
