      The Liberals are now at 171 seats – 172 seats are needed for a majority.

      This is the fourth Conservative MP to cross the floor.

      The Liberals will get at least 173 with by-elections on Monday – with Terrebonne no longer needed to get them that „real“ majority.

      Not a name I expected to see in this headline, considering her previous antivax and pro-conversion-therapy stances.

      Edit: on further reading of [her speech on C-6](https://openparliament.ca/debates/2021/6/7/marilyn-gladu-3/only/) I’m not sure “pro-conversion-therapy” was an accurate statement, as her opposition to the bill seems to have been based on a belief it was overbroad and prohibited things beyond conversion therapy.

      …really?

      This one seems more shocking that the Liberals accepted her than her leaving the CPC.

      She’s a pro-life, pro-conversion therapy, antivax social Conservative. This is like Marjorie Taylor Greene becoming a Democrat.

      I know Carney has a big tent but wow that’s a *big* tent.

      Not a great look for PP with this being the fourth of his party to cross the floor. With the elections on Monday it seems that the Liberals have formed a majority. Winning Terrebonne would be a cherry on top for them but no longer necessary.

      Sarnia-Lambton is a safe Conservative riding that they have held for over 20 years. They beat the Liberals by 28 points last year. I’m not a Conservative supporter, but this absolutely reeks and i’d be livid as a constituent. She needs to resign and run in a byelection.

      It also demonstrates that the Carny government will take anyone, no matter their controversial and conspiracy theory views so long as it secures a majority. This really cements the idea that the Liberals have no consistent values, other than winning elections

      I am shocked by this one. Shes really conservative and the riding is filled with blue collar working class voters and has a big oil and gas and chemical plant industry. Honestly how can you not be cynical about politicians they are just terrible man.

      They are promising all of them cabinet positions. Will wait 6 months until the dust settles but that’s what’s happening.

      Wow not a name that I would have expected at all. Things must be very bleak in the CPC caucus very Gladu to be crossing.

      This shows how the liberals are under Carney more like the blue liberals of thr past and how Pierre is a poison leader
