      People were predicting this after he won the leadership convention. Plenty of people unhappy with his leadership.

      I mean, yeah. But I’d love to hear if this specific crossing weakens progressives’ support within the LPC. Like, how does someone like Doly Begum – recently an NDP MPP – feel about Carney’s growing appeal among conservatives.

      Conservative here. His leadership was dead the moment he failed to win the general election and lost his own seat. This is just another person telling it to his face.

      Finally some sense. Floor crossing right now isn’t about conniving Liberals. It’s about MPs deeply unhappy with their parties and party leadership and MPs bailing.

      Carney has said he intends to whip the vote of floor crossers. No party in recent memory has turned away a floor crosser. These are votes falling into their hands. None of parties, outside of the greens and (at least on paper) the NDP, would say no to floor crossers. Heck, the Bloc was *founded* by floor crossers. We’re just uniquely in a Parliament where floor crossing gives the a government a majority.

      The Conservatives and NDP are weak, and their MPs are responding to that. In the case of Mr. Pollievre, the amount of defection is wild. He is the leader of the theoretical government-in-waiting, in a Parliament that (until recently) could fall to an election any day. His party should be a strong opposition ready to topple the government and win an election united, instead it’s bleeding members. Harper was able to hold his opposition together through a loss and opposition to win in 2006. Pollievre’s inability to do so is entirely on him and his leadership.

      I wonder what happens if Poilievre were to get kicked out by the caucus, but he runs again and wins the leadership race with a populist narrative that he is fighting against establishment insiders within the CPC who want to turn the CPC into the LPC.

      This particular crossing weakens our entire political system. Gladu has no business being in the Liberal Party and Carney has no business bringing someone like her into the fold.

      We’re basically telling the voters in their riding that their opinions mean nothing. They elected a Conservative – a conservative Conservative – most likely because they can’t stand the Liberals. It’s too clever by half and just looks like rank opportunism on all sides.

      Except for Poilievre of course. Given Gladu’s political stances, he must have some personal beef with her, there’s no way she is going over to Carney because she suddenly learned to love Davos and vaccines.
