Gladu Switches Sides, Boosts Liberals

0:00Conservative MP, Emeril and Gladu just switched sides, crossing the floor to join the Liberals this week. She's the fourth conservative to make that move in recent months, boosting the governing party's numbers. Gladu represents Sarnia, Lamton, Bakeshwanong, a seat she's held since 2015. She won it big in the 2025 election, with 53.1% of the vote. Now she's teaming up with Prime Minister Marcarne's crew. Her constituents pushed her this way, she says, craving real leadership to build a stronger, independent Canadian economy after a wild year. Karne's all-in, praising her practical, results focused style for tackling global uncertainty. Meanwhile, the Liberals have snagged five floor crossers total lately, four from conservatives and one from the NDP last month. That kind of shift is reshaping the house fast. As these defections pile up, watch for more ripples in Parliament's power play, keeping our political beat unpredictable. This has been Vancouver News Today, powered by AI.
