@MarkJCarney Here's where Canada's innovation stands after 10 years of Trudeau and 5 years of your advisement to him.

@SpencerFernando Gimme a break. This may have been the situation in the past, but this privilege is now being abused. If an MP is contemplating crossing the floor, they should do so on their own accord, not be enticed by the PM. Even so, this practice should be subject to a by-election.

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.

@GosselinSusie @Shawn_in_TO @MarkJCarney Yes. Very true.

@LongForSpring @Shawn_in_TO @MarkJCarney have lost their voices

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.

@Dee_01991 @Shawn_in_TO @MarkJCarney Seriously, @Dee_01991. Can you explain your "I think we know why" comment?

@Dee_01991 @Shawn_in_TO @MarkJCarney Can you explain that? Don't you understand that floor crossers are supposed to do this to BENEFIT their constituents, not themselves? Why do liberals need more floor crossers when they're getting a majority next WEEK? That is arrogant & obsessive. And a bit scary.

@TheMalaMoragain @michaelstepchuk And you are hilarious. There isn't a mean bone in my body. And you need to look up the word nazi. You obviously don't know what it means.

@TheMalaMoragain The author of this thread, @michaelstepchuk, blocked me, not you! If you had blocked me, I wouldn't be able to respond to you! 🤦‍♀️

You think idling trucks & honking horns is worse than people getting into a country illegally?! That's worse than protestors yelling "Death to Canada," taunting Jews and shooting at their schools for over TWO YEARS?!! Get over yourself.

@TMLeafsForever @JustinSmith_13 @kami4374 @Shawn_in_TO @MarkJCarney @nickshirleyy Trudeau's advisor for 5 years starting in 2020.

@JustinSmith_13 @kami4374 @LongForSpring @Shawn_in_TO @MarkJCarney @nickshirleyy Oh, my bad, I didn't realize Car ey had been PM for the past decade or more

@TMLeafsForever @JustinSmith_13 @kami4374 @Shawn_in_TO @MarkJCarney @nickshirleyy What is Carney doing? Travelling the world, making non-binding deals that may never come to fruition, is doing nothing. And how is Poilievre getting in the way? He's being realistic about Canada's issues. Canadians are struggling & Carney is barely addressing this.

@LongForSpring @JustinSmith_13 @kami4374 @Shawn_in_TO @MarkJCarney @nickshirleyy Because Carney is actually working for Canadians during very challenging times. Do you think Canada's issues are only happening here? It's worldwide and he is doing everything in his power to make it better. PP is doing everything to get in the way and MP's and public see his BS

@TMLeafsForever @JustinSmith_13 @kami4374 @Shawn_in_TO @MarkJCarney @nickshirleyy Why doesn't our media critique Carney instead of focussing on Poilievre? Carney is the PM & all they pretty much do is praise him even though Canadians aren't seeing any change. And why are liberals courting MPs to cross when they don't need them? Our media is pathetic.

@LongForSpring @JustinSmith_13 @kami4374 @Shawn_in_TO @MarkJCarney @nickshirleyy We sure can, they are way more truthful than the BS down South

@therealmrbench @MarilynGladuSL I did that already, and I screenshot a whole lot of her posts.

Before Marilyn Gladu locks down her X account, had over there and see how she viewed the Liberals. Now she is one of them @MarilynGladuSL

@TMLeafsForever @JustinSmith_13 @kami4374 @Shawn_in_TO @MarkJCarney @nickshirleyy Well, we can't rely on our own "journalists", can we?

@JustinSmith_13 @LongForSpring @kami4374 @Shawn_in_TO @MarkJCarney @nickshirleyy 🤣🤣🤣. Imagine calling on this clown to "investigate*. 🤣🤣

@gravedragon_ @lisakirbie @KyleRempfer How so? Sorry, but I think this is more about liberal greed & ego. They've admitted that they are courting MPs. Why? They are guaranteed a majority next week in the by-elections. Why do they need to court more?

@lisakirbie @KyleRempfer I genuinely believe that Skippy has gotten so bad that she's willing to leave that at the door.

As a progressive Liberal, I’d rather a general election than taking anti-gay, anti-abortion conservatives.

@JustinSmith_13 @kami4374 @Shawn_in_TO @MarkJCarney @nickshirleyy Ya. Well, I guess we can't depend on our own media!

@LongForSpring @kami4374 @Shawn_in_TO @MarkJCarney @nickshirleyy plans on coming to Canada to expose the fraud going on

@PeterHRatcliffe You love the smell of greed?! Liberals are pretty much guaranteed to get a majority in next week's by-elections. Why are they COURTING MPs to cross the floor? This is obsessive and undemocratic. All Canadians should be concerned about this. Even those shilling for liberals.

CPC lost another floor crosser today. Smart CPC members would cross the floor before the by-elections. I just love the smell of majority Liberal government in the springtime.

@JustinSmith_13 @kami4374 @Shawn_in_TO @MarkJCarney Well, if we had a an actual investigative media, maybe we'd get some answers.

@LongForSpring @kami4374 @Shawn_in_TO @MarkJCarney They are clearly getting bribed....everyone has a price. They should start looking into bank accounts etc of all these floor crossers that Carney activetly seeked out

Hey,@MarilynGladuSL, did you know that Mark Carney advised Justin Trudeau during covid? And now you're cozying up to him? Do you even know who you are anymore?

@MarilynGladuSL You certainly have nerve. What did Carney offer you? 20 years as a conservative and you turn your back on your constituents. Don't pretend this isn't all about you.

Proud to be the newest member of our new Liberal Government.

@kami4374 @Shawn_in_TO @MarkJCarney True. But I'd like to know what she got personally out of this. All these floor crossers will not be re-elected. What's the incentive?

@LongForSpring @Shawn_in_TO @MarkJCarney Don’t worry, I’m sure there will be an incoming announcement of billions of spending for that riding in the very near future.

@EvanLSolomon @MarilynGladuSL Liberals are abusing the system & acting like these floor crossers are are doing this for their constituents when we know Carney is enticing them. You're getting a majority next week in the by-elections. Why is that not ENOUGH?!!!

Welcome to the team @MarilynGladuSL. Very happy to help build this country together.

@DanaSG4 @EvanLSolomon @MarilynGladuSL Nobody should be supporting this. Liberals are courting MPs even though they are pretty much guaranteed a majority next week in the by-elections. These MPs are out for personal gain & that is not what this is about. I've never trusted Carney, but now his greed is scaring me.

@EvanLSolomon @MarilynGladuSL I voted Liberal (in fact have done so in the past three federal elections) and I do not support this.
