Canada's opposition leader ejected from House for calling Trudeau 'wacko'

Canada's opposition leader has been ejected from the House of Commons for calling Justin Trudeau a "wacko".

Pierre Poilievre was ordered out of the chamber on Tuesday after he refused to withdraw the derogatory term.

He was criticising the prime minister's support for a policy of decriminalising some hard drugs.

The two political rivals are poised to compete in a general election expected by October next year.
