Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney attracts yet another Conservative lawmaker to his Liberal Party

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney has attracted another opposition Conservative lawmaker to the Liberal Party, further assuring that he will soon have a majority government. Ontario Member of Parliament Marilyn Gladu alluded to U.S. President Donald Trump’s threats to Canada’s sovereignty and economy for her decision to defect to Carney’s governing Liberals. Trump has talked about making Canada the 51st state. She is the fifth Member of Parliament to defect to Carney and the fourth Conservative. That puts the Liberals closer to having a majority government and being able to pass any bill without opposition party support.
