@ForMYCanada Oh I wonder what incentives will be given to Sarnia in the next few weeks. NDP received 400+ million of a seat up North.
This sounds expensive.
For Canadian Taxpayers that is.

Why would Mark Carney want Marilyn Gladu in his caucus? 🇨🇦🤔
A few possible reasons:
• She represents Sarnia–Lambton, home to Chemical Valley. Canada’s largest petrochemical cluster. That brings real industrial and energy-sector credibility. ⚡🛢️
• She’s a chemical engineer with decades in the energy sector 🧪🔧 — useful when talking about industrial decarbonization, hydrogen, and the energy transition 🌱⚡.
• Signals Liberals can attract Conservatives from traditionally blue ridings 🔵➡️🔴.
• Politically, every additional MP strengthens a governing caucus 🏛️.
Achievements & contributions: 🏆
- Introduced national framework for palliative care (Bill C-277) ❤️⚕️
- Proposed Pension Protection Act (Bill C-228) 💼💰
- Chaired Status of Women committee, advocated for STEM & trades 👩🔬🔧
- 21 years at Dow Chemical; Fellow of the Canadian Academy of Engineers 🏗️👷♀️
- Promoted regional economic development & clean-tech initiatives 🌱🏭
In short: energy expertise, regional credibility, legislative accomplishments, and political optics. 💡📊

@pdrobertson Or what the Liberals offered her and her riding.
NDP was 400+ million of your tax payer dollars.
Sarnia doesn’t sound like it will be cheap. So in reality taxpayers will be on the hook for over a billion dollars to buy a majority.
Is that how politics works?
English
You can speculate about what motivated Marilyn Gladu to cross the floor to the Carney Liberals.
But you can't say it was opportunism. She won her riding with 53% of the vote.
One has to wonder: what exactly is the number of CPC MPs needed to bail before caucus starts asking really uncomfortable questions?
English
How are Liberals this dumb to spend and spend and spend Canadian taxpayers dollars to increase the debt even more is the better question.
And now by purchasing a few MP’s by giving their ridings a few multi-million incentive packages made up of taxpayer dollars to gain the majority? What’s Sarnia receiving??
People, give your heads a shake. It’s way past being a joke now to see what is happening.
English
This might go down as the biggest political collapse in Canadian history.
From a promised supermajority
to his own party abandoning ship.
He didn’t just lose the election,
he lost his seat, and they still brought him back. 🤯
Let that sink in.
English
@sarobertsonca What the?? Someone forgot to take their meds this morning.
Sarnia is going to be receiving a nice little windfall courtesy of the Canadian tax payers.
English
Chris d'Entremont on Conservative Party reaction to floor crossings: "They seem to be blaming others for this challenge and not looking inwardly. They need to look inwardly."
English
Welcome to the team @MarilynGladuSL. Very happy to help build this country together.
Marilyn Gladu@MarilynGladuSL
Proud to be the newest member of our new Liberal Government.
English
@CanadianPolling You should poll on how much this is going to cost Canadian tax payers debt to purchase a few more MP’s.
English
So the rumours that there's 10 more MPs looking to cross to the Liberals looks like it might be accurate
Gladu was one of the last people I would've expected to cross, which means the spectrum for potential floor crossers is huge

Conservative MP for Sarnia has crossed the floor to the Liberals That puts the Liberals at 171 seats, with the by-elections for Monday guaranteeing their majority government

@TondaMacC @R_SPatel @TorontoStar Don’t worry, Mark Carney has more than enough money to buy their allegiance.
English
Up to 40 Conservative MPs fear Pierre Poilievre will cost them their seats, insiders say. Story by me and @R_SPatel thestar.com/politics/up-to… via @torontostar
English
@BillboardChris @PierrePoilievre How much more Canadian taxpayer dollars does Mark Carney have to spend on the MP’s?
Don’t answer that.
English
How many more floor-crossings can @PierrePoilievre survive until he is forced to resign as Conservative Party leader?
English
@MarkJCarney Thank you, PM, for cutting taxes and doing the right thing for the middle class. More money in our pockets means a stronger economy and a stronger Canada.
English
This tax season, nearly 22 million Canadians are benefiting from our middle-class tax cut and keeping more of their hard-earned paycheques.
English
@MarkJCarney But you are going to add $4000 if this boondock HSR goes through and benefits no one except the finance minister and his wife who needs to make a living as well.
English
@RoyceKoop Paying off their ridings with huge incentives?
Those are Canadian tax payer dolars being used you clown!
How about approaching your writing skills as a journalist and not a Liberal supporter!
English
I don't think the spate of floor-crossings says much about the opposition parties or their leaders. There is always going to be malcontents (Gladu, D'Entrement) and opportunists (Ma, Idlout) sitting on the opposition benches.
But they say a great deal about a prime minister who is willing to use the power of the state to entice those MPs to join the government, overturning the results of the last election.

This doesn’t make sense. She’s either a total phony or there’s something that made crossing the floor very lucrative. What is going on?
Canada Proud@WeAreCanProud
Just happened to be her second last house sitting before crossing the floor. Zero integrity.
English
Good news.
Instead of playing the politics of division, he’s governing for all Canadians.
English
Welcome to the Liberal team, Marilyn Gladu.
Now is the time to work together to build a brighter future for all in a stronger Canada!
English
@DavidJPba Really. What does this tell you.
There is a massive investment from the Liberal goverment coming to Sarnia courtesy of Canadian tax payer dollars.
All this to gather a majority?
Liberals are the worst hypocrites who promote corruption and you know it.
English
Pierre Poilievre has created a party that has no confidence in him. This many floor crossers is unprecedented. He will not survive as Leader of the Opposition till the next election. A man who had his chance to seize greatness, and fumbled it in the most pathetic way at possible.
English
Turns out it’s not a rumour...
Pierre Poilievre gives women the "ick".
English
I’m excited to welcome Marilyn Gladu as she joins our Liberal team in building a stronger, more united Canada.
I’ve known Marilyn for a long time, and she’s spent years fighting for her community in Sarnia. It was great to be with her today and see that same energy and commitment as she steps into this next chapter, working alongside Prime Minister Carney to help build Canada strong.
It’s time to build. Welcome to the team, Marilyn.
🇨🇦
Je suis ravi d'accueillir Marilyn Gladu au sein de notre équipe libérale, alors que nous travaillons ensemble à bâtir un Canada plus fort et plus uni.
Je connais Marilyn depuis longtemps, et elle a passé des années à se battre pour sa communauté à Sarnia. C'était formidable d'être avec elle aujourd'hui et de voir cette même énergie et cet engagement alors qu'elle entame ce nouveau chapitre, aux côtés du Premier ministre Carney, pour bâtir un Canada fort.
Il est temps de bâtir. Bienvenue dans l'équipe, Marilyn.
English
@creator_dude @KathyChicas7 @UnitedCanucks26 @MarkJCarney Research? There is a problem. What are the Liberals doing about it? Tax savings for people who can afford homes? That’s not solving homelessness.
English
@strugglebusdude @KathyChicas7 @UnitedCanucks26 @MarkJCarney Maybe you should try some research before you sound off.
English
Congrats to @MarkJCarney! Liberals won a majority government! ❤️
Thanks to Marilyn Gladu for crossing the floor! 🙌
Let’s go Canada. 🇨🇦
