    This quote from CBC seems to indicate people were harassing his family. There’s also some rumors going around that the Conservatives is blackmailing MP’s to prevent them from leaving.

    The MP said he was “deeply grateful” for those who have reached out to him in recent days while also urging people to “please not attempt to contact my family during this time.”

      As speculation ramped up around Parliament Hill over his potential floor crossing, a source close to Jeneroux tells CTV News that Conservative Party officials made it known to him that there would be consequences if he did floor cross. That led to a statement from his office that insisted he would not be leaving the party.

      Yeah, there were definitely threats made.

      Sharan Kaur, who contributes to CTV, is also saying this pretty directly. Apparently multiple sources all confirming the same thing.
