Canada’s Conservative Party Loses Second Lawmaker in Three Days
Alberta lawmaker Matt Jeneroux unexpectedly resigned from the House of Commons on the evening of November 6, 2025, surprising Ottawa and adding pressure on Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre.
This marks the second Conservative Member of Parliament to leave in a week, following Chris d’Entremont's defection from the Conservative party to Prime Minister Mark Carney’s Liberals in Nova Scotia.
Political Context
The Conservative Party faces growing challenges as Prime Minister Carney's government approaches a critical vote on its Budget, released on November 4. Failure to pass this Budget in the House of Commons could bring down the government.
Details of Resignation
- Matt Jeneroux announced his resignation via social media without providing reasons.
- He did not respond immediately to requests for further comment.
- This follows shortly after Chris d’Entremont’s party switch, boosting the Liberals to 170 seats, just two seats short of a parliamentary majority.
"Canada’s Conservative Party lost its second Member of Parliament in a week, putting pressure on Mr Pierre Poilievre, the main political rival of Prime Minister Mark Carney."
"The Budget must pass in the House or the government will fall."
These recent changes signal a tense parliamentary situation as the government faces a decisive budget vote soon.
Author's Summary
The Conservative Party’s recent losses to other parties deepen political uncertainty as Canada’s government nears a crucial Budget vote that could determine its survival.
