Itโ€™s not a coincidence that the latest floor crossing was announced today. There was too much attention on MP Champagne and a potential conflict of interest. The PMO needed to change the narrative.

Every time there is a floor-crossing, Carney and the Liberals will try to make it about anything but the truth: this is a battle between Carney-style cynicism versus those who believe politics should be about upholding sincere principles and values. jamiljivani.substack.com/p/the-cynical-โ€ฆ

Marilyn Gladu doesnโ€™t believe Pierre Poilievre is a serious leaderโ€”and sheโ€™s all-in on Mark Carney to โ€œget the job done.โ€ Canadians will learn the brutal truth the hard way: Theyโ€™re nothing but swineโ€”trampling each other to get their snouts back in the public trough.

Have you ever seen a more awkward and phoney picture. Body language shows two people pretending to like each other though they actually hate each others guts.

I don't know if I've said this publicly before, but I am willing to bet that Pierre Poilievre will resign as leader of the Conservative Party before the next election.

๐Ÿšจ๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ฆ Mark Carney could possibly be the first Canadian Prime Minister in our history to achieve a majority government that nobody voted for. Between floor-crossers and the April 13 byelections, we are seeing a "technical majority" engineered in backrooms, not at the ballot box. When this happens, we no longer have a Democracy. ๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ฆ @MarkJCarney @liberal_party #cdnpoli #MarkCarney #Democracy #GeneralElectionNow #AxeTheTax

Nothing to celebrate about living in a normal democracy when Marilyn Gladu & Doly Begum - who agree on virtually & absolutely nothing, ideologically, decide to be in the same political party. Itโ€™s not about policy. Itโ€™s not about constituents. Itโ€™s ONLY about what they are getting, believe me. Truly unprecedented - and for very good reason.

Chris d'Entremont - 23,024 votes Michael Ma - 27,055 votes Matt Jeneroux - 30,343 votes Marilyn Gladu - 26,292 votes We're now at 106,714 Conservative voters disenfranchised by the Prime Minister Carney and the Members of Parliament themselves. And don't tell me this is how our democracy works. In practice, it hasn't worked this way for 50+ years. Those voters reasonably expected to get Conservative MPs and now they're getting Liberals.

When woke up this morning and saw the woman babbling on beside that bumbling banker I thought it was an AI generated video. When it became clear that the video was genuine I was actually nauseous. As of today I have lost any respect for Canadian politics and its politicians and its sleazy Liberal propaganda driven media. This woman broke my hope and my heart and faith in this country. If China or India or America wants it they can have it. Clearly itโ€™s for sale!๐Ÿ˜ข

I am disgusted, and I am not going to dress it up with polite Ottawa language. Marilyn Gladu crossed from the Conservatives to Mark Carneyโ€™s Liberals on April 8, 2026, saying constituents want โ€œserious leadershipโ€ and โ€œa real plan to build a stronger and more independent Canadian economy.โ€ Her move gives the Liberals 171 seats, one short of the 172 needed for a majority. That is exactly why people do not buy the noble script. This is how Ottawa usually works. The speech is about conscience. The reality is about power. Suddenly the language gets soft, patriotic, and lofty right when the political math gets useful. We are asked to believe an MP was hit by a lightning bolt of principle at the exact moment her switch strengthens the governing party and brings it within one seat of majority control. Convenient does not begin to cover it. Gladu says this is about leadership and collaboration. Fine. Then let voters decide whether they agree. That is the part these people always skip. They act as if a personal change of heart magically rewrites the contract with the public. It does not. People did not vote only for Marilyn Gladu the individual. They voted for a Conservative MP, a Conservative platform, and a Conservative opposition role. Crossing the floor without first seeking a new mandate may be legal, but it feels like a bait-and-switch because that is exactly what it is. And spare me the line about โ€œdoing the best thingโ€ for the riding. Every floor crosser says some version of that. It is the oldest detergent in the political cupboard. It is meant to wash ambition into service. What it really signals is this: I think my judgment now matters more than the basis on which you elected me. That is where the anger comes from. Voters are already drowning in managed language, staged sincerity, and plastic promises. Trust in politics is weak because people keep seeing the same pattern. Politicians campaign one way, govern another, then call the switch โ€œleadership.โ€ They wrap self-interest in national purpose and hope the flag covers the fingerprints. What makes this worse is the timing. Carney publicly welcomed Gladu into Liberal caucus the same day, and the result is not symbolic. It materially strengthens the governmentโ€™s position in the House. This is not some minor personal journey. It changes parliamentary leverage. It changes committee numbers, confidence calculations, and the balance of power. So yes, Iโ€™m pissed. I am pissed because voters are treated like props in a story written after the fact. I am pissed because party labels suddenly matter a great deal during elections and apparently not at all when power is on offer. I am pissed because people who were sent to oppose Liberal policy can simply walk across the aisle and help entrench it, then expect applause for being โ€œconstructive.โ€ And there is another detail that makes this smell even worse. Local reporting says that in January, Gladu had advocated for byelections when MPs switch parties. If that report is accurate, then this is not just opportunism. It is opportunism with a side order of hypocrisy. That is the real issue here. Not whether floor crossing is technically allowed. Not whether Ottawa insiders can invent a respectable sentence for it. The real issue is whether voters still mean anything once the election is over. My view is simple. If you want to switch parties, resign and run again. Go back to the people. Make your case honestly. Ask for a fresh mandate under the new banner. Anything less might be lawful, but it is not clean. It tells voters their consent is temporary, conditional, and easily bypassed once the machinery of power starts humming. That is why this disgusts me. Because democracy is not only about counting seats. It is about keeping faith with the people who gave you one.
