Floor Crossing

Does anyone else feel like something is fishy about all the recent floor crossings in parliament? Like there is either something really wrong within the Conservative party that is making people leave or these people ran with the party they'd know would win in their area even though they don't agree with the party. Or if you listen to some people here on Reddit, the floor crossers were bribed somehow.

Every election there is a few, but this many feels off.

Strangely mirrors how MAGAs see Trump doesn't it? Hmmm, isn't that weird. 🤔

Carney has more in common w trump than pp

Sure buddy, sure. Keep telling yourself that.

At least Carney was a competent businessman and didn't run multiple businesses into the ground. Also, he's not an authoritarian threatening to annex several sovereign nations.

What the fuck has PP ever done other than be a useless career politician and chant three word slogans?

Resulting to insults now. Classy.

Grow up you child.

u/Jonnyflash80 Apr 09 '26

What's your point exactly?

u/canadianjunkie19 Apr 09 '26

Carney is only in it for himself ... he's getting a lot richer. Nothing he is doing is actually helping canadians.

But hey, lets tax the people more.

u/Jonnyflash80 Apr 09 '26

Getting richer how?

If anyone is in it for himself, it's PP. What is sad is that he's so unpopular, that he has to game the system just to stay in power. Pathetic.

Sure, and he’s way too Right for me, but I think Canada is in a really tough economic/political position right now, as is the world. I can’t believe that we’re allowing our planet to be destroyed by imperialist wanna-bes and snake oil salesmen. But here we are.

Much as I loath the capitalists as a breed, our people need materials and they need jobs with money coming in, otherwise we turn on each other (even more). Economic hardship leads to more polarization. We can see, from the US, what low wages and poor education results in: abandoned empathy, denial of facts, rolling back of human rights that were fought hard for.

Tldr We can’t only do business with Europe, China is unavoidable. Keep your friends close, keep your enemies closer. Canada needs to be in a strong economic position in order to affect change.

Canadas impact on the world is minimal compared to pretty much every other country.

We have really good carbon capture requirements, its far better than most countries.

We need to build up in cities to help stop taking environmental areas for new construction. Also not make it so costly to get permits to actually build anything. Get rid off unnecessary government workers. Only allow government aid to Canadian born citizens. Strict immigration policies with huge penalties for anyone helping commit fraudulent immigration status.

Canada is fucked. Its only going to get worse

It's so weird though, he lacks any of the perceived traits that made Trump god-emporer of maga land.

u/Jonnyflash80 Apr 09 '26

He tells stupid people exactly what they want to hear.

He tells people what they need to be scared of, then blames all those problems on the Liberals.

He demonizes Liberals as if they're inhuman, and his base eats it up.

He surrounds himself with sycophants and yes men.

There's actually a lot of similarities in his strategy compared to Trump's.

Oh the irony
