Ein weiterer Abgeordneter verlässt die Konservativen und übergibt das Wort an die Liberalen

This should be the immediate end of Poilievre’s leadership. 1 more floor crossing and his inability to keep his MPs in check and supporting him will gift Carney a majority.

Michael Ma, CPC MP from Markham-Unionville, just north of Toronto. Won his race by just 3 percentage points as a consequence of the resignation of Paul Chiang. 

Markham-Unionville turns red again. 

If you can’t even keep your caucus together, how can you be expected to govern for all Canadians?

Pierre should avoid being embarrassed at his leadership review, and just step down now.

Poilievre is doing a great job for his country. I think the only funnier thing is if he crosses the floor and vows to not participate and have his vote be whipped.

Look I don’t like Carney or the Liberals at all, but the complete implosion of Pierre’s „Conservative“ party has been a real pleasure to watch. There’s just no feasible way they can justify keeping him in leadership.

Now if only the NDP could get their poop in a group enough to actually pressure Carney from the left properly. Surely we have someone in the vein of Zohran Mamdani somewhere around this massive country right? …right?

God, I’d love to know what’s going on under the hood at CPC HQ. 

I figured the floor crossing were over a done with and that the CPC had managed to close ranks. Evidently not. 

Liberals are one off a majority now, I believe. If another floor cross happens, and the liberals eek out a majority due to Polievre’s miserable Caucus management and leadership it would hugely embarrassing for him. 

Do the CPC caucus knife him ala O’toole if that happens?

If the liberals straight up gain a majority from floor crossings is that 100% unprecedented I’ve never heard of it happening in general

> The MP said in a statement that he made the decision after listening to his constituents in the riding of Markham-Unionville in the Greater Toronto Area

If that is true. Then he should resign and run again in a by-election. If his constituents really do want a liberal MP they will send him back to parliament.

this one is kinda a bit more high profile than d’entrement and generoux, no?

i stg if someone goes „french last name, of course bad guy and not tru conservative“

stans are mostly on the attack now, but some are still calling for self reflection (as in, we should stop being so vile towards „others“) so i guess it’s not that bleak

i guess „who tf needs the left“ kinda governance is really starting to work out huh

On the PP leadership question, the difficult question is what small-C conservatism opposition looks like with the PM we have now.

Our PM is for all intents and purposes a modern conservative now that no party cares about balanced budgets and social conservatism is understood to be a losing position by most parties.

The only real hope in the short term is that the NDP siphons votes off on the left. Otherwise you have to wait for Carney to implode. With PP being so oppositional by nature, it’s hard to understand where he gets the energy to oppose so vigorously considering the LPC are saying they will do most of what PP said the CPC would do before the election.

Poilievre really should have taken the hint when he lost his seat the first time, he’s felt like a dead man walking ever since. Dragging on like this cannot be the less humiliating option

How does a community vote conservative candidates in for their policies and then still end up with a liberal. Crossing the floor should trigger an election for that riding.

> The new addition to the Liberal caucus means Carney is one seat away from a majority government.

Do you think that the math makes it more probable that at least one more MP will cross? It effectively guarantees the next floor-crosser increased job stability, likely less stress, greater impact, etc… and it’s no long a collective action problem.
