This woman is the furthest thing from a Liberal. Allowing her to join the LPC proves they have no core identity, and they only care about power.
Interesting short interview about Gladu’s logic for crossing the floor. Worth the full read, but I found this excerpt to be notable:
>**Q: What rewards, if any, are you expecting for crossing to the Liberals?**
>**Gladu:** Well, you can’t actually be offered anything. That would be illegal. So, I did not get offered anything but, watching for 10 years, people on the government benches tend to get more for their ridings and their projects. Interestingly, after I crossed, I had a call yesterday from the infrastructure and housing minister’s office wanting to get together and talk about the things we need in Sarnia-Lambton. I had sent (minister) Gregor Robinson, when I was re-elected in 2025, a one-page of all the things that lined up with his file that we wanted in Sarnia. It went really nowhere, until I crossed the floor. This is what I’m hoping will be the result.
Summary: she likes the defence spending, she likes the energy and infrastructure projects and she wants to bring federal money to her riding.
Oh NaPo…no proofreading? ‘listen, we know that we’re you’re top donors but we need to get back on the government benches and we’re going to have to support the Liberals in the next election.”🙄
