Not only did he blow a 30 point lead, but he hands Carney a majority because he can't keep his own party together.

You really pickem, Alberta.

However, I have a real problem with any MP that switches parties, because they were not elected to do that. Jeneroux should be free to switch, but only after winning a by-election.

I would be pissed if a guy I voted for fell in love with the PPC.

It's less "pick", and more "always vote mindlessly for the candidate presented", if you're thinking of Battle River-Crowfoot. And they complained bitterly about the old guy being forced out.

Poilievre is a product of Ontario politics, otherwise.

I don't have a real issue with floor-crossing, since it's true to the principle that you're supposed to vote for the principle, not the party.

But it's pretty tough to deny that that's simply not the way most people vote.

He was turfed out of Ontario. He would be gone were it not for Alberta.

Yeah here down south it's become a right wing tactic to run as a progressive then switch to fascism. It's really bad for democracy to permit, though the alternative is to encourage people to just stay in their party but not vote like it

Well, there's safe seats elsewhere as well. Saskatchewan is basically the same thing.
