The new look big tent LPC is stretching at the ideological seams with the addition of Marilyn Gladu, but prominent Liberal progressive are willing to take her word that she’ll adopt Liberal values Here’s a wrap from on how the new MPs don’t have floor crossers remorse #cdnpoli

Welcome home Reid, Victor, Christina, and Jeremy! 🫶 The Artemis II astronauts have splashed down at 8:07pm ET (0007 UTC April 11), bringing their historic 10-day mission around the Moon to an end.

Poilievre is slamming the PM, accusing him of making backroom deals to force a Liberal majority But with four Tory MPs now having crossed the floor, and polls showing CPC support trailing the LPC by double digits, Poilievre's leadership is facing some tough questions #cdnpoli

Marilyn Gladu is now the 4th CPC MP to join the LPC in the past five months - and she may not be the last A senior gov source says there are ongoing conversations between the LPC and CPC to get more MPs to cross the floor, as the gov is now one seat shy of a majority #cdnpoli

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.

The PM won't say if China's persecution of Uyghurs is a genocide, which parliament recognized in 2021 This comes after Liberal MP Ma downplayed China's use of forced labour Days after Ma's apology, Carney praised him at a fundraiser in video obtained by Global News #cdnpoli

Two weeks before Toronto by-elections that could give him a majority, Mark Carney rolled out a GST cut on new builds and a promise to slash development charges, for Ontario only Here's the details on the changes that could help homebuyers, developers & his candidates #cdnpoli

After four days of silence, the PM weighed in on Liberal MP Michael Ma downplaying China's use of forced labour against Uyghur people He says he will continue to work with Ma in caucus, and was also pressed on his own belief of whether there is forced labour in China #cdnpoli

Michael Ma is still slated to host a fundraiser in Markham tonight with the prime minister, the Liberal party confirms The event will be just hours after Carney addressed Ma's controversial remarks last week where he seemingly downplayed China's use of forced labour #cdnpoli

Asked if he believes there is forced labour in China, Mark Carney first went on about his housing announcement, then didn't answer the question. "There is existence of child labour and force labour around the world ... there are parts of China that are higher risk" #cdnpoli
