    The article is unclear, was the guy booted out for just the day, or permanently? I assume just for the day, otherwise it would be a bigger story.

      He was booted out for the rest of the day
      for refusing to apologize, retract or rephrase the statement.

      ALL media surrounding this is a nothing burger designed to forment unrest and get a far right, even more pro business leader elected. And he’s already fundraising as if he’s the victim of a dictatorship.

      From the article:

      Fergus told Poilievre he was disregarding the speaker’s authority and, in an unusual move, said: “I order to you to withdraw from the House … for the remainder of this day’s sitting.

        Right, but then he left and pressed on, and then the article uses “ejected”. It wasn’t cleared to me whether “withdrawn for a day’s sitting” was the same as “ejected”.
