"Those conversations [with his family over the holidays] have been honest, difficult and deeply personal at times. But they also led me to reflect on the gravity of the moment that our country is living through — which our prime minister addressed head on in his speech at Davos. For Canada, this is a moment that demands steady leadership, constructive collaboration between all parliamentarians."

"After further reflection with my family, and conversations with colleagues and constituents, I will be continuing to serve in Parliament — and I will be working with Prime Minister Mark Carney as a part of his new government to help build our country’s strength as we face the challenges ahead."

Damn, Carney's legendary speech still changes lives!

We should have an election then, let the electorate decide who it should be. Deciding to just join another party on a whim to give them a majority clearly just leads to further divide in the long run.

Given Carney is currently high in the polls he should just call an election, and ask the people for a full mandate, rather than this cloak and dagger nonsense.

Eh... There was like a 5% vote difference in Edmonton Riverbend, with an almost exact 50/50 left-right vote split.

In a sane electoral system, like STV, the area would have something like 2 Liberal MPs, 0-1 NDP MPs, and 2-3 Con MPs.

This isn't a great shift against local political preferences.
