The original childish moment is the NDP blocking the PC Whip from getting through, trying to delay the vote. I don't know who the guy facing away is but he's moving back and forth to make sure the whip (Brown) can't get through. This is happening right in front of Mulcair, so you know its part of a plan.
Trudeau gets pissed off, pushes through the NDP blockade and grabs the PC guy. While stepping back his left elbow contacts Ms. Brousseau.
All hell breaks loose. Muclair acts like a buffoon yelling the rather sexist "What kind of a man elbows a woman". Brousseau, weakly, follows her parties lead and builds this into some major assault.
I've seen worse "assaults" in grocery stores with people trying to get shop in an orderly fashion while a family blocks an entire aisle to passersby.
The elbow was impolite but that's about it, certainly not intentional.
I don't even like Trudeau, and he shouldn't have done it, but the NDP trying to work it up to some frenzy makes them look like the bigger morons.
Brousseau's speech in particular was vapid. Alleging so much harm over so little.
The losers are Canadians. This is your government in action.
EDIT: My favorite social media posts suggest a couple of the NDP members might have learned well from Trudeau's drama classes. Clever dig to all involved.
