Right-wing outlets weigh in on Conservative floor crossing, Carney's first budget

Right-wing Outlets React to Conservative Floor Crossing and Carney's Budget

This week, activist media closely followed key developments involving Prime Minister Mark Carney’s minority Liberal government and its first budget, which may also be its last depending on future events.

Rebel Media Alberta reporter Sheila Gunn Reid focused on one striking event: three-term Nova Scotia MP Chris D’Entremont switching from the Conservative backbenches to the Liberal side.

Sheila Gunn Reid described it as a “political self-own” by D’Entremont, noting he was “ousted from the Conservative caucus after publicly musing to Politico that he was ‘considering’ crossing the floor (on) the very same day the Liberals dropped a $78-billion deficit budget.”

She also noted that a Conservative spokesperson claimed D’Entremont “technically resigned” before being officially ousted.

Gunn Reid concluded, “Either way, his brief moment of political indecision ended with the door hitting him on the way out.”

The online response from Conservative supporters was harsh. One called him a “traitor,” while another commented, “Let him become the Liberals’ problem.”
