Up to 10 MPs in Talks to Cross Floor to Liberals, Bolstering Carney’s Majority Push

It’s funny because even as a pretty hardcore Carney stan I expected his achilles heel to be the political side of the job, but if anything it seems like he was born for this

Conservatives and Liberals are not that different. Both have big money behind them and that big money wants their guy in power.
All those private meetings at millionaire and billionaires homes weren’t about asking for the usual gladhanding and empty promises. They want results.
No respect the voters. Shame on these MPs who promise you one thing and once getting elected they change their colours.
Not too hard to believe he’d negotiate himself a majority. The man has been making deals non stop since he got into power. I think he’d be a better boss than the other federal options anyway.
If true and it does happen with a majority of the floor crossers being conservative MPs. I wonder what happens to PPs leadership even though the review just took place (imo was a bit rigged in his favour).
so the wording of this is actually quite concerning. „In talks“ insinuates that there are negotiations involved and one might find it a little disheartening that MPS are negotiating on their personal behalf and presumable benefit to cross the floor to a political party that wasn’t the one they were elected to represent.
And before you say it, I don’t care that any party has supported this behavior in the past – I find it discouraging no matter the political stripe. That said, this current Liberal parties fervent chase of a pure majority should give every Canadian a pause for thought. ESPECIALLY considering some of the recent bills encroaching on personal freedoms that they’ve tried to pass.
I’m struggling to think who from the NDP would cross. Gazan is too left. Boulerice is actively talking about going into provincial politics for a party that’s to the left of the NDP. McPherson just lost the leadership race and crossing would look like sour grapes. Plus I don’t think she would be satisfied as a backbencher. Davies is a moderate, but the man is a staunch New Democrat. Johns or Kwan maybe? But they are also long time NDPers with deep ties to the party.
I’m wondering how many more floor crossing the CPC can accept before Poilievre has no choice but to resign. If the number is doubled to 6, it’d mean that Poilievre will have lost over 4% of the CPC’s MPs to defections since the 2025 election, which I don’t think has ever happened to a head of opposition before.
Seems to be the perfect storm for the government to take advantage of. Polievre is alienating the moderate wing of the CPC while Lewis is alienating the moderate wing of the NDP (not to mention there’s probably still tensions from some of the remaining sitting MPs since various federal MPs and staffers that still have a bad taste in their mouth from the leap manifesto, which Lewis and Naomi Klein were central figures since many NDP MPs and staffers blamed the Manifesto for hurting them in Western Canada during the 2019 election etc.)
This headline reads like a Steve McKinnon quote.
Not say there won’t be more floor crossers, but every time hes asked he as a smug smirk and says hes always talking to people.
Which, again, I definitely believe he spends more time trying to make backroom deals with moderate CPC MPs than anything else, but its just as likely that he’s sowing division within the CPC ranks rather than actually convincing more people.
