A Canadian MP has apologized after popping up naked during a virtual parliamentary sitting, explaining he was getting changed in his office and didn’t realize the camera was turned on. It happens!
Will Amos says he is embarrassed by the mistake.
The accidental exposure was brought up by Speaker Anthony Rota after Prime Minister Justin Trudeau was done answering a question in the House.

“As you know, since the beginning of the pandemic we have tried to emphasize the importance of respecting … the dress code here in the House,” said Bloc Québécois MP Claude DeBellefeuille.
How about we take this to the next level?

Anyone recognize this MP wandering around in the buff in their office while taking part in the hybrid Parliament? Obviously, given the flag, they are from Quebec. Wonder what kind of mobile phone he uses? #cdnpoli pic.twitter.com/HWOeR9ZJBV

“Today we’ve set a new record. We’ve seen a member during Question Period improperly dressed — that is, unclothed.
“We have seen that the member was in very good shape, but I think that this member should be reminded of what is appropriate and to control his camera.”
“It was an honest mistake,” Rota said, promising it “won’t happen again.”
Lesson learned!

Hilarious. She did point out that he was in excellent shape though. lol

Accidentally? or Accidentally on purpose? I’d give him the benefit of the doubt for now.

Awwww. Did they see a penis? Poor babies.

I wouldn’t say anything in the hopes he’d stay naked. The age of Zoom certainly has changed things. I remember how much outrage there was over Janet Jackson flashing a breast and now government officials are walking about naked and it’s (rightfully) not taken too seriously.

Janet Jackson had her breastpiece ripped off by Justin Timberlake, remember? And that happened in the US, which has a long history of Puritanism, unlike Canada. Let an American politician walk around naked like this, and there’d be far more of a public uproar, especially in the Bible Belt.

I love that serious Canadian decorum. In Congress, or most parliaments, there would’ve been a whole lotta laughing and probably yelling!
