Floor Crossings Are Breaking Voter Trust
Can floor crossing hand Carney a majority before voters even get a say?
As MPs switch sides, Canadians are asking whether democracy is being gamed.
In this episode, we break down:
- Marilyn Gladu crossing the floor to join the Liberals and what it means for Ottawa
- Mark Carney’s path to a Liberal majority government through by-elections and MP defections
- Why Conservative voter trust is collapsing amid repeated floor crossings in Canada
- Pierre Poilievre’s leadership challenges and whether the Conservatives need a reset
- How party switching, political strategy, and voter anger could affect turnout in the next federal election
- Why some argue Canada needs stability right now, even if the process feels politically messy
- The broader debate around democratic accountability, opposition politics, and political legitimacy in Canada
- Hosts: Jim Lang, Paul Micucci
This conversation explores the growing backlash over MPs switching parties, the pressure on Pierre Poilievre, Mark Carney’s emerging majority math, and the deeper question of whether Canadian politics is losing the trust of ordinary voters.
