Another opposition Conservative lawmaker in Canada has defected to Prime Minister Mark Carney’s governing Liberals. Carney announced on social media that Alberta Member of Parliament Matt Jeneroux had crossed the floor to join the Liberal caucus. It’s the third Conservative lawmaker to join the Liberals in recent months. The move puts the Liberals closer to having a majority government and being able to pass any bill without the support of an opposition party. The defection is another blow to Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre, who lost the last national election in April and even his own seat in Parliament. He has since rejoined the House of Commons.
