It's one thing if the guy was in his face or there was some (and there isn't) clock ticking and the bill turns into a pumpkin, but on a bill going to vote (assisted suicide no less) to be that impatient? And that's just in general, nevermind doing it in the house of Commons, while in session... and it's not some yappy backbencher who doesn't know better, its the leader of the Liberal party and current PM. Just bizarre.

Personally I think the bigger issue is the NDP acting like 5-year-olds and blocking Brown's path to his seat. It's pretty clear that what Trudeau was doing - perhaps more forcefully than he should have - wasn't 'hurrying another MP along' but helping him through a childish blockade of NDP bodies.
The subsequent tirade Mulcair goes on, the massive over-reaction by pretty much the entire NDP caucus, and their infantile behaviour which sparked the whole incident have left, in my opinion, the NDP looking far worse and more juvenile in this incident.
