Liberal Prime Minister Mark Carney has lured yet another MP across the floor, tightening his grip on Parliament and pushing his government to being within a single seat of a majority government.

Despicable.

Libcon gonna libcon.

I thought we’d see it in January, so I’m actually impressed they waited a month.

I think there are more than meets the eye behind the scenes. Supreme court reversing an election result smells to me like they are (possibly; don't hold breath) working against allowing a majority in such ways as floor crossing. Just speculation of course.

@Nink
Well, who do you think will win the by-election?

 

[Nink]

@RightOfSask

seems too up in the air to me. Though i figure the same elements that might stear away or into calling an election are in play outside of their control. Hard to say.

Allowing the courts an opinion on who’s won a riding is simply setting precedence for a do-over when the wrong team wins by 1 or 10 or 1000 votes in the future. Since Elections Canada can never seem to count a pool of ballots and get the same results twice it’s clear that there’s always problems with simple ballot counting. We’re going to be in Florida year 2000 forever because of this.

The Liberals are going to toss everything they have at it, you can count on that.

 

[RightOfSask]

@Hirudinea
And even if they lose, there is a 50/50 chance that they will cross the floor after a month or two.

 

[dagthegnome]

The very least a conservative government can do if they ever get power again will be to make it so this kind of bullshit immediately triggers a by-election.

Here’s a 2 plank Election campaign winner: Floor crossing triggers a by-election, and Remigration.

 

[BeerAndOil]

Fucking liar. He said he was going to resign his seat back in December.

 

[Hirudinea]

Well he resigned his honour to oblivion, does that count?

 

[TOPDAWG]

Well his bank account going to be looking a lot nicer.

@TOPDAWG

The onshore one or the offshore one?

 

[brutana_dilewski]

Gotta love the 'Late Period' of Canadian history. Revolving door of corruption.

 

[border_humper]

Snow Cuba.

Can't vote your way out of liberalism you have to shoot your way out. Every floor crosser is a foreign agent.

 

[the_pamplemoose]

Boy I sure love living in a representative democracy!

Your vote doesn't matter. x2 if you live west of the Ontario-Manitoba border.

 

[Hirudinea]

Under the Liberals this is the gif that keeps on giving.

 

[Turbotron]

Party affiliation cannot be both irrelevant and primary at the same time. In Canada we don't even vote for PM we vote for party and the party votes their leader. Therefore if you like a particular leader your only choice is to vote party first and the person is second. But when it's floor crossing time all of a sudden these scum bags start thinking they are special.

 

[Nink]

not only that but Parties allow foreigners to vote for their leader. Foreigners get to determine who Canadians get to choose between (as most folks despite voting for a MP vote based on the leader of the party)

Some Alberta Independence figures I follow on X are saying it'll be an additional 25,000 signatures with this.

I think they may be right.
