Liberals are elated while Poilievre accuses Carney of 'backroom deals' after NDP defection | CBC News

Smiling broadly, Prime Minister Mark Carney welcomed MP Lori Idlout to the Liberal caucus Wednesday after convincing yet another opposition member to defect to the governing party — a political coup that brings him one step closer to a majority government.

@dyckron

Probably accurate about Carney but the real problem with this is that WE ONLY HAVE A CONSERVATIVE PARTY NOW.

NDP is dead, whatever #PP runs (Conservative? Reform? Alliance?) is down to its last Nazis, and the "Liberal" party has implemented most or all of what #PP called for before the last election.

@VE2UWY @dyckron we have a variation of this happening in Australia. The supposedly leftist Labor party is right of center, the supposedly conservative Liberal party has imploded, leaving the National party picking up its defectors and the racist sovcit One Nation party vaccuming up the interest of the disgruntled working class. The Greens are the only actually Left party, but has a lot of inexperienced folk putting their hand up to represent, garnering few votes, and the oligarch-owned media has done a good job of discrediting anything green with both the working and middle class and the agricultural community.

@dyckron @VE2UWY democratic erosion by the billionaire boot.

@artemis @VE2UWY 💯

@artemis @dyckron @VE2UWY it's so sad/disgusting to see all this happening, simply because people can't share their spoils of "progress." Now, we have techno fascists supercharging the swindle, and leaders everywhere are falling in line to put their people in a cage.
