This is further evidence of the deep-seated, sometimes deeply personal animosity between the two leaders, providing a glimpse into the potentially tumultuous nature of the upcoming election campaign.
Following a heated exchange during the daily question period, which allows opposition parties the opportunity to scrutinise the government, Poilievre was instructed to leave by the speaker of Canada's Parliament.
At first, Justin Trudeau accused Pierre Poilievre of visiting a protest camp where “white nationalist groups” were present, adding that it showed “spineless” leadership. Speaker Greg Fergus intervened, requesting Trudeau to rephrase his statement to ensure compliance with the chamber's rules on decorum.
