On an earlier post this week about Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, I posted a video in the comments section. This video showed one of the most egregious displays of political obfuscation, disrespect for opponents, and smugness turned up to a degree that is hard to believe actually occurred on the floor of the Canadian Parliament.
Reader Duncan noted:
As a Canadian, I had not seen this before, nor reported by our predominantly liberal media, thank-you for this insight and good laugh. Possibly Russian’s were in the room when he communicated with the Ethics Commissioner thus why he is avoiding the question 🙂
As a public service to our Canadian viewers, we are elevating this video to a post so that it may be more widely disseminated to the Canadian audience. Share away. Post on Facebook. Send to your friends. Tweet your hearts out.
This seems normal for our leaders Trudeau, Wynne, McGuinty. In Trudeau’s case like father, like son.
Yep, the guano doesn’t fall far from the chicken.
When in parliament never ask a question that you do not already know the answer to.
I don’t know what is going in with the Canadian ethics commissioner, but Trudeau seemed very happy for every question to be the same. That way there is no opportunity for a surprising ambush about something he is not prepared for. In the UK I don’t think anybody expects PMQ’s to inform anybody about anything.
It’s refreshing for us in Australia, to see that Canadian Prime Ministers seem to be even worse than Australian ones. Believe me that is saying something.
Almost thought it was a Monty Python skit.
IT’S AN EX PARROT !!!!
We get the government we deserve – it is merely a measure of the general disintegration of society. ‘Slouching Toward Gomorrah” by Robert Bork was a prescient book. Also Hayek pointed out that the worst sorts of people will come to power in Socialists systems.
The uhh, prime minister, is uhhh, lame…
Poor poor Canadians.
It appears that lying is not the sole domain of the American left. Guess Trudeau is just not smart enough to understand how he looks.
His father’s looks and arrogance, his mother’s brains…
Has he choked any reporters yet (like his daddy did) ?
Sorry, it was a protester..
That is Prime Minister Chrétien, not PET.
Well, he is still nuts !! LOL…thanks for the correction…
Well, he did ‘manhandle’ MPs in parliament…including elbowing a female MP in the chest.

“Prime Minister Justin Trudeau was accused of charging across the floor, swearing, elbowing an NDP MP, “manhandling” the chief opposition whip, Gordon Brown, and exchanging angry words with NDP Leader Tom Mulcair.”
While I’m not a huge fan of Chretien, that was truly a great Canadian moment. That and beating baby seals helps insure that Europeans don’t forget who we truly are (i.e. half savage)
Yeah, that was one of of those “can’t they both lose” moments, i.e. Liberal PM vs. seal hunt protestor.
One year ago today I decided to take one year off from the internet, except for access to my research materials. I did manage to make it to 4 months.
If you look back at what was posted on WUWT one year ago you will find a post by the fabulous maximus, or something that was a real downer for me and the straw that broke the camels back moment.
I have greatly reduced the number of websites I visit and my social media usage. I don’t watch Canadian news anymore and I don’t read any newspapers. I used to read several newspapers every day since I got out of high school.
I just finished a 6 hour straight stint of studying a digital systems book. The more time I spend studying the subjects i need to know to complete my climate science goals, the better I feel.
I am currently involved in designing a super computer for use in climate models studies, hence why I am also refreshing my electrical engineering knowledge and basic computer components.
I am thinking of writing an article for WUWT that I am calling “The Secret World of the FPGA”, because of the research I am doing that will be using these devices in the super computer.
Sounds interesting, gary.
Good news. I’ve been waiting for a supercomputer analysis of those solar orbits by Rhodes Fairbridge and their possible connection to the so called solar conveyor belt that somehow mediates the sunspot numbers that influence the energy received from the sun by 1 or 2%. Tough for non-scientists like me to do any analysis of what we read.
The speaker of the House of Commons of Canada keeps referring to Mr. Trudeau as “The right honorable Prime Minister”. Were I given the privilege of asking a question, I should ask, “Will the alleged, quote, right honourable, unquote, Prime Minister condescend to justify his being called either “right” or “honourable”, or a combination of the two epithets, seeing he evinced neither right nor honour in his alleged answers to the previously asked?
It is enlightening to see the same pattern in Canada as in America where the rules don’t apply to liberals. I always learn how fragile the system is from watching liberals wave off tradition, rules, and circumvention of the law in the over reach.
The best and most cutting satire I’ve seen of Trudeau:
French liberal pussyism on both sides of the Atlantic.
It depends on the definition of “is” or “meeting” or “have met” or “will meet” or “will cooperate” etc. etc.depending on the need.
I wonder how many times Prime Minister Justin Trudeau was perfectly happy. That’s what Canadians wanted to know.
At time period 7:55 & 9:00 … see all the trained monkeys in the background nodding in approval to the PMs response.
Do these monkeys spend time in the general public … and if they do, why are they not severely accosted?
Trudeau Sr referred to those folks as trained seals…. ahhhrrrphing on command.
I believe he also said that they become nobodies when they leave Parliament Hill.
Most of us believe they are nobodies when they are there as well.
And I thought I was the only one who referred to politicians as little more than monkeys with rubber stamps.
Right wing Canadians hate Justin…. Much the way Right wing Americans felt about Obama….
If you want hate, check out the rioters against Trump.
Right wing “hate” against Trulander, in the words of Jules Winnfield: “ain’t the same ballpark, it ain’t the same league, it ain’t even the same sport.”
I tried, but the utter insanity of this was too much to watch for the full video length. How does someone this dim get elected? Has Canada sank this low?
The electors get the politicians they deserve. Maybe Canadians will be inclined to think more seriously about elections in the future?
Please look at the voting map. Alberta did not get the leader it deserved. The West and the rest are so divided by this donkey.
Eastern Canada is to blame.
I didn’t know from the questions what they were getting at – whether he met with the Ethics Commissioner too many times, or that he never met with the Ethics Commissioner.
I would guess from the tone that he never met with the Ethics Commissioner. If so, I’m not sure why he couldn’t just say “not once” and that “a meeting is scheduled” or something like that.
I didn’t see the video all the way to the bitter end. Did he ever answer the question?
No. He never answered the question. The question was asked 18x. It is likely he has not. Canadians want to know.
The ethics breach was so blatant.
This Canadian’s #1 priority is to shine a bright light on all his ineptitude so liberals wouldn’t even be able to support him in 2019.
The USA got Foghorn Leghorn, the Philippines got Yosemite Sam and Canada got stuck with Pepe Le Pew. I wanted Marvin the Martian for our prime minister. I feel so cheated. Everyone else has someone funny and we are stuck with Pepe 🙁
Give me Trump over trudocchio anytime.
I like the Red Green response [You cant fix stupid but some times duck tape will muffle the sound]
Calling it dodging the questions affords a certain grace which Trududu is completely lacking. In the terminology of pro-wrestling, he’s no-selling the questions.
