Recent floor crossings to Prime Minister Mark Carney’s Liberals, including Marilyn Gladu on April 8, 2026, have followed the party’s securing of a majority government through by-elections and earlier defections by Conservative MPs such as Chris d’Entremont, Michael Ma, and Matt Jeneroux. Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre has publicly criticized these moves as undermining parliamentary stability, while polling shows divided public views on the practice. A late-April report indicated Liberal outreach to at least one sitting Conservative MP who declined to switch. Historical patterns show floor crossings often cluster during periods of leadership transition or when opposition parties face internal pressures ahead of the next general election. Traders assessing the likelihood of another switch will monitor caucus discontent within the Conservatives and any procedural votes that could highlight dissatisfaction among members.
