Anyone interesting in seeing what happened without four minutes of tedious commentary can cue to that point.

have such a huge following. Cenk's perspectives and style are effective and he's a Columbia Univ. lawyer as well.
This Canadian parliament action is a tough call to make regarding the PM and offended MP; can't see enough in the video to tell. Not good at all if Trudeau did what is claimed. But it's clear the PM was annoyed about the delay on the vote, went over to bring in one of the stalling conservatives to get on with it which displayed backbone and determination.

1. The NDP party impeded the progress of the Conservative Whip who was trying to get to his seat so a vote could happen.
2. The Prime Minister got up out of his seat and walked to the blockade, where he took the impeded Whip by the arm and led him from the crowd.
3. In the process of doing so, the PM inadvertently bumped into a female NDP member who was standing in the path (much like what might happen if you were entering a crowded bus).
4. The bumped into female MP was about to return to her seat, when her leader told her to leave the House.
5. While this was going on the PM apologized to her personally for bumping into her.
6. He would later apologize to the entire house.
7. At no time did anyone get "hit", "elbowed", "molested", nor did anyone "get physical".
