From Convoy to Cabinet? The Floor Crossing Crisis

Canada’s political landscape just took a strange turn.

In this episode of Politics Is Broken, we break down the wave of floor crossings that has pushed the Liberals to within one seat of a majority government — without an election.

Are MPs switching sides out of principle… or pure political survival?

We dig into:

  • The recent Conservative → Liberal defections

  • Why Marilyn Gladu’s move is causing backlash

  • Whether Mark Carney is playing 4D chess… or making a risky mistake

  • Why majority governments might be more dangerous than they seem

  • And what this all says about the state of Canadian politics right now

Plus… A little Trump-induced global anxiety, ketchup chips diplomacy, and why Canadian politics increasingly feels like a group project where nobody trusts each other.
