I did not know there was a federal private member’s bill (Bill C-306) in 2011 that would have required MPs who crossed the floor to vacate their seat and run in a by-election under their new party affiliation.
The Conservatives who were in power then voted overwhelmingly against it, arguing it undermined MPs’ independence and conflicted with Canada’s parliamentary system. Amazing when you consider their rhetoric today. The bill was defeated at second reading.
Which raises an obvious question: why did @PierrePoilievre, who now suggests floor-crossing renders Carney’s majority “illegitimate,” vote against this bill at the time?

I heard that one of the 3 CPC MPs considering crossing to the LPC failed the vetting from the LPC and this might genuinely be the funniest thing I've ever hear. On so many levels.

A reporter asks Poilievre if he would keep in place or repeal Trudeau's freeze on the sale of handguns.
He dodges the question and talks about illegal guns crossing the border instead.
Unsatisfied that he didn't answer, she asks again. He refuses and points to the next reporter.
Not good!

The final report on foreign interference is clear.
Pierre Poilievre must get security clearance, now.
And his billionaire buddy Elon Musk’s platform X must be investigated.
This is a moment to put country before party.

If you live in a province under the federal Carbon Tax and file your taxes, you get a REBATE every 3 months. Every Bot, Troll, media and Con politician always fail to mention it. If you meet the conditions above and then say you didn’t get it, you’re straight up fukking lying.
