Trouble for Trudeau: Canada's golden boy Prime Minister forced to apologize after he ELBOWS female opposition lawmaker during physical parliamentary fracas

The Daily Mail reports:
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has apologized 'unreservedly' for elbowing a female opposition member of Parliament in the chest as he waded through a group of her colleagues.

Ruth Ellen Brosseau said the fracas forced her to miss a vote in the House of Commons on Wednesday as she had to leave the chamber.

'I was elbowed in the chest by the prime minister and then I had to leave. It was very overwhelming,' she said. 'I missed the vote because of this.'

Opposition leaders have slammed the incident as 'violent' - branding Trudeau, an avid boxer, 'un-statesmanlike'.

Reports claim Trudeau shouted 'get the f*** out the way' during the dispute.

The kerfuffle spells a possible blow to Trudeau's image as a modern, feminist leader.

It comes just days after the leader's wife was criticized for requesting help, as she said she could not juggle the job of being First Lady and being a mother-of-three.
