Liberals will say they are one big, broad tent. But tents have stakes in the ground that don’t move.
What the Liberal Party actually is, in fact, is a bedsheet, tenuously tied to a flagpole, flapping in whichever direction the wind happens to be blowing theglobeandmail.com/opinion/articl…

If floor crossing truly went against democracy, we would not be voting for individual MPs at all, we would be voting only for parties.
In Canada, we elect a local representative in each riding, not a fixed seat for a political party. That means the person elected is the MP, and they are accountable to their constituents, not permanently bound to a party label.
When an MP chooses to cross the floor, the election result is not cancelled, and no votes are erased. The same elected representative continues to serve the same riding. What changes is the party they sit with in Parliament, not the fact that they were chosen by voters.
If democracy meant locking MPs to a party forever, then voters would have no real choice beyond selecting a party list. That is not how Canada’s system works.
Floor crossing can be controversial, but it exists because MPs are elected as individuals within a parliamentary democracy where accountability happens at the ballot box, not through party handcuffs mid term.

@Sociopathicide @Ssaniya_ Wow... how many IRGC are standing on bridges or other infrastructure? Probably none. Just poor average Iranians too afraid to disobey, placed where they can be killed for the propaganda purposes of a mad theocracy.

@DukeMatters @Ssaniya_ That's because you have no character. you are confused when you encounter it.

The Islamic regime says it’s ordered 14M civilians to act as human shields around potential targets. Anything to say about that?

The President of the United States is openly threatening to commit genocide against 90 million people. Prime Minister Carney: if there was ever a moment to denounce this illegal war, withdraw your support, and call for accountability for war crimes—it’s now.

Worst idea ever!
Out of concern for our sovereignty due to threats real or perceived from Washington, Canadians want to protect our sovereignty by handing over foreign policy, defence policy, monetary policy and regulation of our economy to the EU government in Brussels.

@alanfryermedia Well then it’s hardly genocide if they’re volunteering!

@douglasbulloch It’s practically genocide, not to mention racist. Bloody fascists!

@EthanLevins2 Pretty sure that’s not what they’re counting down. And since when is taking out bridges and power plant “genocide”?

@BernieSanders Lebanon needs to deal with their Hezbollah problem and their Israel problem will go away.

Canada is not a sovereign country if foreign police can freely step over our border to enforce their will.

@jacksonhinklle That was Persia and that was very different than the current Iranian “civilization”.
