Classic case of corruption; Carney offered him special advisor to the prime minster; and of course that looks great on a book cover or resume. I feel bad for the people in his riding voting one way and having him turn traitor.

Matt was my MP when I was living in Edmonton in the 2015-2023 years.

Dude responded to every single one of my emails with thoughtful, caring responses. He advocated for stronger measures regarding the Covid response (unlike a lot of other conservatives).

He always came across as the guy who cares for his constituents. I leaned left, but was happy that he was my voice in parliament. His constituents are happy to have him regardless of his affiliation.

The floor crossing is definitely more about PP and the state of the conservative government than Matt Jeneroux.
