@MarcNixon24 @Martyupnorth Isn't that misappropriating taxpayer money?

Tom Mulcair CONFIRMS live on TV Mark Carney is BRIBING MP’s to cross the FLOOR

@by__brittany Shouldn't they be talking to their constituents

🚨BREAKING: CBC is reporting that NINE opposition MPs are in talks with Carney to cross the floor!!

@ctvedmonton The NDP will jump on any bandwagon if they think they can get money out of it.

Alberta NDP launches campaign to keep province in Canada ahead of referendum ctvnews.ca/edmonton/artic…

@louiselikes @cbcwatcher That's not irony

@cbcwatcher it's Ironic that Pierre lost his seat and then forced a sitting MP to give up his seat so Pierre could force taxpayers to pay MILLIONS so he could run in another election.

Poilievre is asked "Do you have any comment on the rumors circulating that more floor crossings are imminent? And what do these floor crossings say about the current state of the Conservative Party of Canada?" Poilievre "Well, I don't comment on rumors, but what I will say is this. Members of Parliament should stand up for the party and the principles that they said they would when they were looking people in the eye in their elections" "If you ran in an election, you went out and you said to little old ladies, to veterans, to truckers, to single moms, that you were going to stand up for the Conservative platform of affordability, safety and national sovereignty and to do so as part of the Conservative Party that people voted for, then you should respect those people and honor your word." "Mark Carney is saying is that your vote doesn't count, that he's going to use backroom dirty deals to reverse the election result in countless ridings, robbing people of their voice and giving him the power to raise your cost of living. That is wrong." "He should respect the democratic will of the Canadian people" @PierrePoilievre @AmazingZoltan

THIS should be on FULL CIRCULATION ON ALL SOCIAL MEDIA OVER AND OVER! Cause we KNOW that it will NOT be seen on MSM! Guess Marilyn this didn’t age well for you. This shows how FULL OF ______ YOU ARE! WHAT A HYPOCRITE !!

@SpencerFernando Then I guess you've lost the whole point of democracy where the MAJORITY VOTE wins. If the individual mind is what's important why do we have parties at all? Every MP should be an independent, come up with their own campaign donations and have their own platform.

“What must be stated is that whether you agree with individual floor crossing decisions or not, the ability of MPs to cross the floor must be protected. Our political system is built so that we elect individuals, not a party, and this is profoundly important because it ensures that those we elect have their own minds. The individual mind is the only real kind of mind there is. There is no ‘group mind’ or ‘collective mind.’ When we hear talk of the ‘group mind’ in a political context, what we are really talking about is the mind of a leader with unchecked power who can impose their will on a large swath of people who have been transformed into drones, and then hide that fact by claiming the ‘group’ is deciding.”

@Super_Samario @Tablesalt13 @MarkJCarney Those debates/campaigns are not attended. You could put the platforms of each party into AI program and have it debate itself and it would be watched and as attended as an in person debate. Elections Canada should do the ballot that way and find out.

@teboconspiracy @Tablesalt13 @MarkJCarney If names didn’t matter, we wouldn’t have candidate debates, local campaigns, or incumbency effects. Reality disagrees. Also... Saying “it wouldn’t change the vote” is an assumption, not a fact.

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.

@TrollingCanuck There isn't any more, even more so if you are from the west

Can someone explain to me like I'm 5, WTF is even the point of voting in Canada?!

@Super_Samario @Tablesalt13 @MarkJCarney You could put out a ballot without names and just parties, it would not change the vote.

@teboconspiracy @Tablesalt13 @MarkJCarney Voters do vote for individual MPs on the ballot, even if party labels matter politically. Campaign funds are regulated, disclosed, and spent legally during the election — they’re not personal assets MPs can “return” later. Parties don’t own seats.

@junonewscom Don't take responsibility for your own decisions. Blame everyone else for YOUR choice to cross to the Liberals against what the people you are paid to represent wanted.

Liberal MP Chris d'Entremont, a former Conservative, on floor crossings: "They [the Conservative Party] seem to be blaming others... and not looking inwardly." "We want Canada [to be] in a better place… you can't do that from the opposition backbench complaining all the time."

@MelanieBennet_ @Bret_Sears You should be more concerned that democracy in Canada is dead and your vote doesn't matter.

I'm much more interested in asking why so many Conservatives Party MPs are crossing the floor than I am the fact that the Liberals managed to poach them.

@Tablesalt13 @Albertain4 Someone in her family must be facing jail time 🤷🏼‍♀️

How do you go from PROMOTING the Trucker's Convoy and having dinner with them to SUCKING up to the party who illegally invoked the Emergencies Act to CRUSH the trucker's convoy in 3 years?

@Super_Samario @Tablesalt13 @MarkJCarney MPs run for office based on the platform of a party, people do not get to vote for who represents them, they vote the party. The MPs use that party's donations, people donate to a party. They need to return those funds.

@Tablesalt13 @MarkJCarney Members of parliament are allowed to cross the aisle. There are no laws against it. Hence, it can not be considered fraud. You have to ask yourself... Why are so many Conservatives crossing over? It must mean there is something terribly wrong with the party... i.e., Poilievre!

@GailSmithlegal @Ab51_Project Are you honestly this stupid? Or are you playing?

@Ab51_Project 1.5 million Edmontonians will vote to stay and you will lose the refineries and the pipelines.

1 Million to 1 .5 Million voting Albertans want out of Canada... Yeah Baby!!

@Angellis6969 @Ab51_Project Alberta owns its natural resources. Oil and gas are natural resources.

@mcisaac_bob @Ab51_Project Yeah, Alberta doesn’t have as many traitors to Canada as they think they do lmfao you know big oil started at the whole separation thing because if Alberta did separate, they would own everything. These idiots in Alberta think they own the oil. Lmfao

@TheophanesRex @PRstevejones @CPC_HQ @PierrePoilievre Sounds like she isn't doing her job as MP. 4 times people voted conservative representation in her riding now she thinks they want a liberal representative in Ottawa? Does that even make sense?

@PRstevejones @CPC_HQ @PierrePoilievre She is in her fourth term as MP.

Within less than 12 months of the election, @CPC_HQ @PierrePoilievre have lost 4 MPs to floor crossings & their new communications director has quit. Things seem to be seriously awry in the party. The leader needs to answer to the party’s supporters. Will he?

@Reil76 We don't get to decide who represents the party in each riding and there is only one individual per party so we vote for the party they represent ~ essentially voting only for parties. The representative REPRESENTS a party platform when running in an election.

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.

@SpencerFernando The MPs are not there to represent their individuality. The narcissistic mind of a liberal on display here folks.

Were Canada to ban floor crossing, we would be suppressing the individual minds of those we elect, and further concentrating power in party leaders. As things stand now, floor crossing protects independence and keeps pressure on leaders to treat their colleagues well lest they watch those colleagues head elsewhere. Floor crossing – and the threat of it – protects us from a system where those we elect turn into mindless drones serving nothing more than the centralized will of ‘the leader.’ So, whether you agree with Gladu’s decision or not, it is essential to protect the right of MPs to cross the floor. The individual mind is the most precious resource we have.

@MarkJCarney Your proud to accept turncoats?

@mario4thenorth There is about 1500 people that might benefit from the billion dollar road to nowhere, how many people could use those funds at food banks

🚨 BREAKING: In 2009 CHINA, bought a Nunavut mine in a fire sale for $1.4 billion (US). For 55 years NO PRIVATE COMPANY would build the road or port to make it viable. Now Carney is fast-tracking $900 million of your taxes to build it for them. The road doesn’t connect a single community. The Inuit call it “a road to nowhere.” Canadians pay. China profits.
