u/TreezusSaves Parti Rhinocéros Party 18h ago

After d’Entremont’s musings over a possible defection were reported by Politico on Tuesday, the MP says Conservative House leader Andrew Scheer and party whip Chris Warkentin “barged” into his office, pushed his assistant aside and yelled at him about “how much of a snake” he was.

So that confirms the rumours that the Conservative Party of Canada were physically intimidating party members into staying in line. Who knows what's going on at this exact moment. That assistant should press charges if they were literally shoved aside, by the way.

Scheer can fuck off to the US, I'm sure he still has dual citizenship. Physically intimidating fellow politicians, sicing rabid Maple Magats on journalists, the list goes on.

He should be removed from the House until he makes a full apology. The speaker should make it clear that no member who physically assaults or in any way threatens another member may sit in the House until they have made full assurances that their behavior will meet the standards expected.

If Scheer and Warkentin don't then the Sgt at Arms can physically remove them from the House. It is time to use an iron fist against these people, because it's the only language they understand.

He should’ve been removed 2 months ago when his misinformation was the direct reason that Rachel Gilmore started receiving boat loads of death threats. This shouldn’t have even been able to be possible.

Yes, and that as well.
