Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre is criticizing Tory MP Marilyn Gladu’s decision to cross the floor to join the Liberal Party, saying she should call a byelection to let her constituents decide which party will represent them.
Reacting to Gladu’s decision on social media, Poilievre said Prime Minister Mark Carney is “seizing a costly Liberal majority that voters denied him” by making “backroom deals” with MPs from other parties.
