Canada opposition leader calls Trudeau a 'wacko,' is ejected from chamber

Speaker Greg Fergus, a Liberal, told Poilievre the comment was both unparliamentary and unacceptable and asked him four times to withdraw it. Poilievre declined on each occasion, saying instead he would use the word extremist or radical. Fergus told Poilievre he was disregarding the speaker's authority and, in an unusual move, said: "I order to you to withdraw from the House ... for the remainder of this day's sitting." Poilievre, who left the chamber with his legislators, later repeated his attack on Trudeau's stance on drugs.
