He should go to the NPD. Let’s go Gilbault be a torn in his ass

Exactly: cross the floor.

They don't accept floor crossers as a policy. He could sit independent and caucus with them, however.

Like, become independent?

Sounds like he's vacating his seat entirely.

Oh fuck. No that's bad.

That leaves the seat open for potentially another liberal MP.

People need to leave the Liberals and give them their minority back. But leaving means the masses could elect another liberal. Because most people méfient l believe minority = bad, minority = nothing gets done. When it couldn't be further from the truth.

Laurier-Sainte-Marie is far from a safe liberal seat. It has been won by the NDP and the Bloc before.

I hope the NPD take the seat. I’m sick of the libs.

Jhex@lemmy.world · 7 pts · 80d (1 reply)

so no more majority?

kent_eh@lemmy.ca · 13 pts · 80d

I think it is still just barely a majority, but with a narrower margin.

I don’t have proof but I am pretty sure Alberta (read O&G) hates Guilbeault.

and with him out of the way, Mark Harper can buy back AB with more environmental loopholes.
