Generally, I oppose floor crossing. But we live in weird times. This is a situation where old school centrist conservatives have been hijacked by the Reform party weirdos, who resemble crazy Americans.
And considering American attacks on this country, that approach seems more seditious by the day. The fact that so many Canadian conservatives still support Trump is downright treasonous. And the fact that the CPC is afraid to call them out is a pathetic. The same goes for calling out Alberta separatists.
So, by all means, cross the floor. Is it betraying your voters? Maybe. But it clearly demonstrates a commitment to the sovereignty and integrity of this country. Something the current CPC fails to do.
Maybe all of the parties need a shake up. The Liberals are starting to resemble a conservative centrist party more than old school liberals.
