The Liberals have an open-door policy problem
Elizabeth McCallion, a political scientist at the University of Toronto who studies Canadian party politics, breaks down floor‑crossing. She explains why Marilyn Gladu’s move surprised observers. They discuss social conservative positions, constituent backlash, and whether the Liberals should set limits on who can join. The conversation also covers incentives for MPs to switch and the gap between grassroots supporters and parliamentary representatives.
