These floor crossings are happening so often that they barely register as news. It's gonna be a big deal if/when the Liberals finally cross into majority territory, but until then, it seems like a slow, constant drip.

Let's see what happens on Monday.

Gotta wonder why so many are crossing over. Do they just want to be on the winning side, or do they hate Pierre Poilievre?

Carney's Liberals have policy positions very similar to the Conservatives. He isn't performatively woke, like Trudeau. He's happily scrapped the carbon tax, and he's stopped pushing for polluters to pay. He's even making noises about supporting Alberta's extraction industries.

I suspect all but the most rabid Conservatives would be happy if Poilievre was doing exactly what Carney is up to.
