House of Commons spat | Jagmeet Singh seemed to ‘want to fight’ with Pierre Poilievre

(Ottawa) NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh was so angered by the derogatory remarks that his opponent Pierre Poilievre had just made that he jumped out of his seat during question period to let him know. And according to elected officials who witnessed the incident, the leader’s attitude was belligerent, even “intimidating.”


The incident was not captured by cameras or microphones because it happened when no one was speaking. But MPs from both political parties confirmed that Singh left his seat to approach Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre’s.

“He had a posture as if he were inviting Mr. Poilievre to fight. It was like: ‘Come on, come tell me to my face.’ He had a really intimidating posture; even I was getting ready to stand up,” Conservative MP Pierre Paul-Hus recounted in an interview.
