Homophobia accusations nearly get Trudeau booted from House

OTTAWA — Prime Minister Justin Trudeau nearly got himself ejected from the House of Commons on Wednesday after refusing to withdraw a remark accusing the Conservatives of being homophobic.
MPs were well into question period when Opposition Leader Pierre Poilievre asked about New York Consul General Tom Clark’s $9-million Billionaires Row condo in Manhattan — specifically regarding the home’s opulent bathroom, which featured a “hand-crafted copper soaking tub.”
The PM’s response was drowned out by jeers and catcalls from the Conservative benches.
But just after Speaker Greg Fergus stood, somebody in the Conservative benches allegedly shouted a remark about Trudeau sharing a bathtub with Clark — but sources in the House said the comment was a flippant question about Clark taking meetings in that bathtub with no mention made of the prime minister.
“Mr. Speaker, don’t worry, on this side of the House we’re used to casual homophobic comments from the other side of the House,” Trudeau began before he was cut off.
After conferring with House of Commons clerk Eric Janse, Fergus said he didn’t rise as the comments weren’t on the microphone, but asked Trudeau to withdraw his accusation.
“Standing up to bullies requires us to call them out on their crap sometimes and that’s what I’ll do,” Trudeau said before taking his seat.

The House of Commons in Canada should not give a damn with whom or who not he shares a bathtub with. I think he likes ladies anyway.
They should care that Trudeau is a hard core socialist if not Marxist. That is the problem in Canada and the USA if Harris is elected.

The pendulum of history will be fun to watch over the next 30 years I suspect (hope).

Justin Castro is known to be at least bisexual. It’s common knowledge for many in Canada. Why would this be considered an insult given Justin’s preference for male sex at times?
He should be happy they recognize his woke sex life, right? Or, does he consider it an insult?

Don’t fear the queer. Homophobia annoys them.
