    You can thank Poilievre for this. This guy will cluelessly cling to the head of the Conservative party until the NDP becomes the new opposition party.

      There’s nothing weird about this. There was a string of by-elections, so people cast votes (in those ridings). This is how parliamentary governments work.

      I can see complaints about floor-crossing though. That’s an act that didn’t involve the voters.

          They can vote how they want, but I believe most parties use the whip extensively. So they could be kicked from the party/lose party funding. Crossing the floor secured them money from the new party.

    One can hope he’ll can Nathalie Provost, find someone who will actually dedicate their time as Secretary Of Nature instead of a defunct Public Safety minister and scrap Bill C21/ASFCP, use his new found majority to target violent reoffenders and stop smuggling over the border.
