Well that's interesting!
Hurlburt was the Progressive Conservative MP for Lethbridge from 1972 to 1979. In 1975, a heated argument erupted between him and a colleague, culminating with Hurlburt picking up his colleague and tossing him to the parliamentary floor. After this event, the press dubbed him "The Hurler."
