In the recent clash between the two party leaders ahead of elections next year, Pierre Poilievre, the leader of the opposition was expelled from the House of Commons on Tuesday after he called Prime Minister Justin Trudeau 'a wacko'.

The war of words between the two top leaders happened during a session in the house. The statement from Poilievre came while Trudeau’s refusal to crack down on drug overdoses, according to the sources.

In a sarcastic reply, Trudeau claimed Poilievre was connected to white nationalists. Trudeau was permitted to stay in the House, though.

Liberal speaker Greg Fergus told Poilievre that his comment was inappropriate and unparliamentary, and he urged him to take it down four times. Each time, Poilievre declined, stating that he would instead use the terms extreme or extremist.

Fergus, in an unprecedented move, told Poilievre he was abdicating his responsibility as speaker and declared, "I order you to withdraw from the House... for the remainder of this day's sitting."

After Poilievre left the House, he persisted in criticizing Trudeau's drug policy. In his X post, he restated this as well.
He wrote, "Trudeau's stance on hard drug use in public is wacko. He sees no problem in allowing addicts to smoke fentanyl in BC parks, playgrounds, and hospitals. That's wacko."

In a string of tweets, he mentioned, “It's been four days since BC asked Trudeau to ban hard drug use in public. He's refusing to ban public use of meth, cocaine, & illicit fentanyl. That's wacko.”
