AJAX, Ont. - Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau says he got "a talking to" from his wife for using the F-word in public, but he won't take any criticism from the Harper government.
Trudeau dropped the f-bomb over the weekend while speaking at a charity boxing match in Gatinueau, Que.
The Prime Minister's Office said it was just another example of Trudeau's "lack of judgment."
The Liberal leader says he let his "emotions run a little hot" while speaking at the boxing match.
But Trudeau says the Harper government is hardly in a position to criticize anyone over judgment when it is dealing with issues like the Senate spending scandal.
Trudeau told a cheering crowd Saturday night that there was no experience like stepping into the boxing ring and "measuring yourself" — adding that "your name, your fortune, your intelligence, your beauty, none of that (expletive) matters."
