The Carney government is contemplating changes to Canadian labour law that several unions say aims to designate more workplaces as "essential services" and curb the right to strike while undermining
People love him and he is super popular I imagine/hope because they’d rather scroll influencer infomercials and AI slop than inform themselves.
I agree with PP on one thing though. Crossing the floor should absolutely trigger a by-election. Who’s to stop leaders from running candidates in every party. In fact I’m not so sure the NDP floor crosser wasn’t a plant. NDP and Carney liberals are very far apart ideologicaly
When I think of Carney liberals I think of the harder government.
The NDP floor crosser did so at the request of their constituents. They wanted their MP to be in the leading party to have more influence for their small region.
Sounds like a personal decision. Don’t think it gets more fair coverage than this article from APTN. If it is the will of the electorate have them vote.
Doesn’t matter if the person is genuine. If this is what the voters truly wanted, even though they got no vote, floor crossings will be exploited by bad actors in the future unless it is remedied.

Then maybe he should have voted for a bill to do just that when he had the opportunity. That bill didn’t pass in part because of Pierre’s principled stance.
I’m not saying you’re wrong to feel that way, but you are certainly wrong to believe that Pierre actually agrees with that when it doesn’t help his position.
People aren’t paying as much attention at what’s going on. The shit’s gonna start hitting them eventually though. Mostly through stagnant wages during continuing price hikes. Not to mention the NDP vote that lent itself to him to keep PP out. We are unlikely to repeat that the way things are going. It’s why it’s important to build up the NDP in some populist shape so the incoming disgruntled vote doesn’t all go to PP. We need working class reps in parliament‚ not whatever the neoliberal fuck the NDP was over the last couple of decades.

Who and how many? Did they take a vote? Isn’t that what a by-election is?

I’m not sure but I think the community they’re from is fairly small, so they probably just talked about it and came to a general agreement.

Avi Lewis is a great leader for the NDP and I’m confident he’s thing to turn things around.
Agreed. I can’t volunteer but I’m giving him money.
