Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney is on the cusp of a majority government — not by the democratic choice of the people, but by a loophole which should have long been closed: Members of Parliament crossing the floor and joining another party once elected. It’s a low down trick for the grubbiest of politicians. “Carney on Cusp of Majority After Plucking Another Conservative,” by Brian Platt, Bloomberg News, April 8, 2026:
(Bloomberg) — Prime Minister Mark Carney is on the verge of a majority government in Parliament after securing another defection from the rival Conservatives — the fifth opposition lawmaker to change sides to the Liberals since the 2025 election.
Marilyn Gladu, who represents a district that sits on the US border in southwestern Ontario, said she is joining Carney’s party “to build our country’s strength and success with a more constructive, collaborative approach.”….
Here is what Elections Canada has on its website:
Democracy does not implement itself, nor does it remain strong and healthy without underlying values and a firm will to apply and enforce them. Democracy is much more than holding elections; however, free and fair elections are one of its fundamental conditions.
Over time, Canadians have come to trust the outcome of elections as truly reflecting their collective will without political interference. Political parties and candidates in the political arena have also learned that they can have confidence in the fairness of the electoral process. Together, these conditions contribute to a meaningful and peaceful environment for elections, and a lively and long-lasting democracy.
Yet, four Conservative Party of Canada Members of Parliament crossed the floor to become Liberals in the space of four and a half months. The real vexation should be against them even more than against the Liberals. What on earth could be going on in the Conservative party for four of its MP’s to cross the floor at this critical juncture, knowing that they were making a mockery of democracy and handing the far-left Carney a majority government? Not to mention undermining the electoral system in violation of the trust of Canadian voters.
Those of us in Canada who take the right to go to the polls seriously and have thumbed our noses at those who neglect to vote on election day are left gobsmacked. The political landscape in Canada leaves much to be desired.
Here is a list of the disgraced Conservative MP‘s who have crossed the floor to become Liberals, thus betraying their constituents who took their time to go to the polls to cast their vote for them as Conservatives:
- Christopher André d’Entremont MP for Acadie—Annapolis, Nova Scotia since 2019; crossed the floor November 5, 2025.
- Michael Ma is MP for Markham—Unionville, Ontario since 2025; crossed the floor December 11, 2025.
- Matthew James Arthur Jeneroux MP for Edmonton Riverbend since 2015; crossed the floor February 18, 2026.
- Marilyn Gladu MP for Sarnia—Lambton—Bkejwanong, Ontario since 2015; crossed the floor on April 8, 2026.
And then there’s Lori Idlout, who wasn’t a Conservative to begin with. She was a socialist from the New Democrat Party, so anything can be expected. She served as NDP MP for Nunavut since 2021, but crossed the floor to become a Liberal MP on March 10, 2026.
Meanwhile, Carney has now called for three by-elections to be held on April 13, 2026, in a strategic move to secure a majority government for the Liberal Party. Why wouldn’t he?
The by-elections were triggered to fill vacancies in three ridings:
- University—Rosedale (Ontario): formerly held by Chrystia Freeland. She stepped down on January 9 to advise Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.
- Scarborough Southwest (Ontario): formerly held by Bill Blair, who stepped down at the start of February. He was appointed as Canada’s High Commissioner to the United Kingdom.
- Terrebonne (Quebec): This by-election was ordered by the Supreme Court of Canada after a ruling that nullified a previous one-vote victory by the Liberal candidate, Tatiana Auguste.
Now that the Liberals are short of majority rule by merely one seat, the upcoming by-elections almost guarantee Carney a majority government, as two of those ridings, University—Rosedale and Scarborough Southwest, are Liberal strongholds.
Trump‘s quipping about a 51st state now looks paltry by comparison to the state of Canada’s politics.

Carney and his Leftists in Canada partner with Islam’s Muslims to expand the Islamization of Canada under Islamic Law, Sharia, with Muslim discrimination, deceit, segregation, rape, violence, and terrorism as taught by Allah in Islam’s Qur’an(Qur’an 3:54; 7:99; 5:14; 9:5, 29, 111; 49:14; 98:6-7, etc.). With more taxpayer money, more political power, and more government control, Islam’s Muslims will fund, create, and promote Muslim Criminal-Terrorist-Gang Organizations from Muslim Homes, Mosques, Muslim Schools, Islamic Centers, Non-Profits, etc. to ultimate conquer the Non-Muslims day by day with Sharia. Allah in Qur’an 8:39 says, “And engage in war with them[Non-Muslims] until there will not be sedition and the religion will be completely to Allah…”
Islam’s Muslims are to be Seditionist Terrorists for Allah with their MUSLIM MONEY and their MUSLIM LIVES to make Islam supreme. Allah in Qur’an 49:15 teaches, “Surely the believers[Muslims] are only those who believed in Allah and his messenger. They do not doubt, and they performed JIHAD with their MONEY and their LIVES for the sake of Allah. Those are the truthful.”

Communism has NO rules. It Lies & Cheats to accomplish their goals, just like Islam. They do Not Adhere to what the people want instead they keep pushing their Agenda until they win. This too, is happening in our Country. It was Trumps election that has saved us until 2028. If we do not win in 2028, you will have to kiss OUR FREEDOM GOODBYE
