The first Question Period of the year didn’t see any grand clash as the Liberals looked mostly like they were trying to smother the prickly questions served from all sides
Pierre Poilievre’s speech to the Conservative caucus last week was an assertion that Justin Trudeau was spreading suffering throughout the land. Mr. Trudeau told his caucus this is a pivotal moment.
Mr. Trudeau’s answer was to ignore the question entirely and assert that the Liberals spent seven years helping the middle class while Conservatives opposed it. If anyone thought the return of Parliament would pit two opponents clawing at each other in high-pitched frenzy, well, that was nothing like Monday in the Commons. The speeches that Mr. Trudeau and Mr. Poilievre gave to pump up their own MPs last week suggested they were itching for the kind of toe-to-toe combat that would make us wonder how long it could go on before it would break out into an election campaign.But there was no grand clash.
