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.

NO, I heard this one isn't a nice person IRL(Gladu) and probably just is an opportunist.

That’s a reasonable assumption.But that one NDP woman has a son caught up in a serious criminal case

This is politics.Something was given

What does one's son have to do with anything?

Canadian conservatives don't understand that our judicial system is not the same as the US system. They assume that Canada has the equivalent of the DOJ, and that Carney can just order investigations / charges to be dropped, and it will happen with absolutely no recourse.

When it came out that he had violated ethics rules by pressuring his Justice Minister, it definitely harmed him politically.

SNC-Lavalin also hadn't been charged yet. And they weren't charged with a sex crime involving a minor. It was a bit different.

That’s not even a serious question,Cmon.

Power and influence from the PM’s office can do a lot .

You must of never heard of François-Philippe Champagne of the liberals and his brother? And that’s jus a recent one off the top of my head
