0:00It's April 13th. This is Calgary News Today, local news powered by AI. A fourth conservative member of parliament just crossed the floor to join the Liberals, leaving Pierre-Pauliv more exposed than ever as opposition, leader. This latest defection by Marilyn Gladou puts Prime Minister Marcarne's Liberals just one seat away from a majority government, with three other. Conservatives. The Antrimon, Michael Ma and Matt Jennero, plus a new Democrat from Nunavut, all switching sides recently. Peter McKay, the former conservative cabinet minister with a long history in party mergers and floor crossings, called it a body blow and even. Morally repulsive, but he's seen it before, from his own dating days with the Fector Belinda Strannock back in 2005.
