Applause in Parliament in the English tradition is unparliamentary, there should have been solely cheers

Are you watching, Republicans? A man of honor who protected Canada’s Parliament. Probably doesn’t look familiar to you because of the dishonor you showed the Capitol Police who were trying to protect our beloved Beacon on the Hill on January 6. Heartbreaking.

@jetodessa5484Does anyone remember the last person the Canadian Parliament gave a standing ovation to? Okay, this event was 9 years ago and the most recent incident was a few weeks ago, but we know the kind of people who get standing ovations by the Canadian government and their President For Life Trudeau.
@CiboriumThat was the next day? Talk about just another day at the office
@patrick1564And now they are giving standing ovations to nazis

@worldstarmbHe did his duty without asking as it shld be asking no reward to put his life on the line for his country and his people. When the peaceful man goes to war the world trembles for his violence knows no boundaries
@walterholder6077Wow! The longest standing ovation I've ever witnessed. And well deserved.
@donblosser8720I have that weapon in dark souls
@PieZelloI will never forget Corporal Nathan Cirillo.
I will never forget Sergeant At Arms Kevin Vickers, nor his face on returning to Parliament.
There are some things words can never convey.
This is one of those.
Standing on Guard for us always, Corporal. Rest Easy.
Proud to be Canadian
@taradeleeuw2344Right at the very end - what does banging the lid of the desks symbolize? Even more respect?

@cherylsemrau4375Jan 6th the US capitol was attacked and we have members in our own congress who turned their backs on the hero's of that day .
@stellertonybeller1972The Queen should Knight him.
@carlousmagus5387Looks freemasonic to me
@charcoalchapterAll of the MPs gave him such a prolonged standing ovation for his actions that they continued the ovation by pounding the lids of their desks after the first call to order by the speaker.
He certainly deserved his ovation!
mps testing their metabolism by clapping

@tim-hillAll the best to the Gentlemen, but surely it´s time to kick all this medieval circus into touch.
@mercomaniaParabéns, foi um herói e mostoru ao povo que não devemos temer, lutar sempre.
Com carinho, do Brasil, terra de Dom Pedro II e do inventor do avião, Alberto Santos Dumont.
