🇨🇦 Carney's Liberal tent now includes Tories, NDPers, and anyone willing to wear the brand

Four floor-crossing Conservatives, an NDP defector, and a former Ontario NDP deputy leader now sit in Mark Carney's caucus. The Liberals secured a two-seat majority by absorbing ideological opposites like Conservative Marilyn Gladu — someone so incompatible with Liberal orthodoxy that even Tory strategists never imagined they'd take her. This isn't coalition-building, it's identity erasure. When your tent fits truckers-convoy supporters and progressive NDP activists simultaneously, you don't stand for anything except power.

Carney insists new MPs will conform to Liberal values, but which values exactly? The party that ran on climate radicalism now houses MPs who opposed carbon taxes. The risk isn't just incoherence — it's that voters will see through the charade. A party this hollow becomes vulnerable the moment someone offers clarity. Desperation dressed up as inclusion.
