When MPs Walk - Real Talk with Colin and Michelle
Politics in Canada is getting loud… but is anyone actually paying attention to the facts?
In this episode of Real Talk with Colin and Michelle, originally aired on Amherst Island Radio on March 15, Colin and Michelle break down the controversy around federal MPs crossing the floor to join the Liberal Party of Canada under Mark Carney.
Conservatives are calling it corruption.
But history tells a very different story.
We dig into the long history of floor-crossing in Canadian federal politics, why MPs have always had the right to change parties, and why the recent moves by four MPs say far more about the lack of direction inside the Conservative Party of Canada and the New Democratic Party than anything happening in the Liberal Party.
And because it’s Real Talk… we don’t stay on the rails for long.
The conversation spills into provincial politics as Michelle shares her thoughts on PC MLAs choosing not to seek re-election, and Colin passionately explains exactly why he can’t stand Doug Ford.
One thing is clear:
Canadians have spoken again and again — we do not want extreme right-wing governments. Until conservative parties moderate their policies instead of catering to their loudest fringe voices, they may continue to struggle to earn the trust of Canadian voters.
