What Was Justin Trudeau Thinking? He Wasn’t
When people accuse the government of “riding roughshod” over the opposition, or of “manhandling” their opponents, they usually mean it metaphorically. But on Wednesday night, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, annoyed by a vote that was all of about 30 seconds late in starting, and impatient with an opposition that appeared to be stalling, abruptly jumped up, raced down the aisle of the House of Commons, and literally manhandled the Official Opposition Whip, Gordon Brown, grabbing him and shoving him toward his seat.
