    This isn't really a surprise more than a wider deflection from elbowgate.
    Olive branches from a PM are rare.

    I'll take the olive branch ... Still should be a referendum though

    No proof, just a random observation left to be questioned.

    Oh, okay. Well my rebuttal would be that Trudeau knows as well as anyone that there was absolutely no need for further damage control on "elbowgate". No one cares about it, and most Canadians didn't even think he had anything to be sorry for in the first place. He's not about to do damage control when there is no damage.

    Elbowgate. I'm not sure if that term was invented on this forum if or if it is actually being floated out there? I'm not bothering to look because either way... it's one of the stupidest things I've heard and really does reflect Canada's desire for a scandal when there is none to be had.

    If that's the height of our problems- our PM bumping a few idiots who are deliberately and childishly blocking the walkway so the government can't get to business- we're doing swell.

    As for the talk of majority government being a poor thing... if the opposition didn't habitually work to sabotage the efforts of the elected and oppose simply to oppose... I'd agree.

    Lest they look like freaking idiots.

    I'm pretty sure they watched the clip several times and at least one of them said, "Holy Christ. Look how stupid we look. I mean... we look stupid with our dumb grins, our giggity-giggity giggling, and our goofy blockade... but look how stupid we look when we get all fired up over nothing. Holy Christ we look stupid. We need this to go away."

    Inquiry dropped and the opposition gets a say in electoral reform.
    Fair.

    If this is what the liberals said with their inside voice it just goes to show how spiteful they really are.

    Let's put elbow gate behind us ... Because this is Canada, if we keep pushing ... Then the government will set up a committee, then another committee to study the issues, then a public inquiry will be called and before you know it, poof that was a wasted billion dollars.

    The G7 didn’t buy Trudeau’s big-deficit growth plan. Neither should we

    I don't ... I remain very sketical .... Governments are borrowing and burying us in debt.

    It was invented by the media almost immediately. I first saw it the day after the incident on Global news. Yes, it`s stupid.
