@MarilynGladuSL we could label you with any manner of derogatory names for undermining democracy like you did, but hopefully your constituents have the good sense of doing it themselves. Vast majority of them didn't even even vote for you - they voted CPC & you betrayed them.

@jenniferelle_ The guy just won nearly 90% support in a leadership review. Turfing someone who has near-unanimous support from the membership would be the end of the CPC as we know it and take us back to 1993 - and, no doubt, that is exactly what the Liberals and state-sponsored media want.

I am disgusted, and I am not going to dress it up with polite Ottawa language. Marilyn Gladu crossed from the Conservatives to Mark Carney’s Liberals on April 8, 2026, saying constituents want “serious leadership” and “a real plan to build a stronger and more independent Canadian economy.” 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 “doing the best thing” 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 “leadership.” 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 government’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, I’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 “constructive.” 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.

I left the Catholic Church decades ago because of the socialist propaganda spewing from the mouths of the so called Popes. @Pontifex

Dear @Pontifex: Will you condemn the Iran-funded terrorists who have slaughtered thousands of Christians, burned our churches, raped and enslaved our women and children, and destroyed our communities for 47 years? You want to continue with this “peace”? America is the problem?

Congratulations to Mark Carney! The first prime minister in history to bypass the democratic wish of voters and achieve a majority government… not through vote, but through persuasion and bribery—though not beyond reasonable doubt, which keeps it within the legal threshold. I now welcome the Liberal comments of “we vote for people, not the party”. Which is false, and “it’s legal!!!” Which doesn’t make it moral or ethical.
Mark Carney@MarkJCarney

At this important moment for our country’s future, Canadians with a broad range of experience and perspectives are uniting to build Canada strong. I am honoured to welcome Marilyn Gladu today as the newest member of this government and our Liberal caucus. In a time of global economic uncertainty, Canada’s success will depend on how we build ambition into progress and strengths into sustained advantage. Marilyn brings the practical, results-driven leadership this effort demands. Having spent decades of her career in engineering and international business, she understands what it takes to create good jobs, strengthen supply chains, and ensure Canadian industry can compete in a rapidly changing global economy. She has been elected by the people of Sarnia—Lambton–Bkejwanong in four straight elections since 2015, and repeatedly earned recognition from colleagues across Parliament for her proven willingness to work constructively across party lines. I’m looking forward to working closely with Marilyn to build a stronger and more independent Canadian economy, meeting the challenges of a changing world with lasting opportunities for all.

@TheophanesRex @CPC_HQ @PierrePoilievre Nope. The floor crossers did so to serve themselves and they would have done so regardless of the leader. Pierre is not the problem. Greed is.
