The comment section on the YT alone is exhibit A on why this was needed. The whips and the leaders of the parties are not going to enforce decorum when the base is chomping at the bit for no holds barred tactics and it has infested all sides for a very long time now. Question period has become a total shit show and the fish rots from the head. ALL of the parties need a penalty box to chill the fuck out. The constant cat calls and lude remarks and personal attacks are WAY out of hand and expulsions are in order. Before that happens the ground rules need to be read. Next is enforcement and the speaker should be ruthless.

A child acts up gets a time out, an MP get social media clicks and until that is nipped in the bud this is only going to get worse.

I don't watch Question period as it's bad enough to see highlights and it pisses me off to hear them trying to out-shout each other and hurl insults. The MP's we send to Ottawa are there to represent the constituency in which the majority of elected them. It should be taken into voter consideration those that behave badly, although it sounds sometimes like the whole lot should be fired as in normal workplace settings acting like a spoiled child is not acceptable.

This is just another example of the fact that we are a country of norms and not of laws and that the norms have been degraded to the loudest voice in the room. Question period has long since mocked for not being answer period but at least you could glean intent of policy from the government of the day and the government in waiting but now its just farcical.

Some of this is from the incessant virtue signaling under Trudeaus leadership but the constant smear merchanting, cat calls and outright bullying in the house opposition has made it a debate of all heat and no light. It's why PP can hammer the government on inflation divorced of any basis in reality and their base eats it up because it is what they want to hear and tune out anything else.

They really need to introduce the cone of silence from get smart and have it drop on the heads of these MP's that act up. They can watch the proceedings with a laptop and a 5 second delay but this would smarten them up fast as an act of public humiliation for their outbursts.
