Right-wing Media Reacts to Conservative Floor Crossing and Carney's Budget
This week, activist media focused on notable political developments concerning Prime Minister Mark Carney’s minority Liberal government and its first budget, which may be the last depending on upcoming events.
Chris D’Entremont's Party Switch
Sheila Gunn Reid, a reporter for Rebel Media Alberta, spotlighted the unexpected move by three-term Nova Scotia MP Chris D’Entremont, who shifted from the Conservative backbenches to the Liberal ranks.
"It was a political self-own by D’Entremont, who 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."
Gunn Reid noted that a Conservative spokesperson clarified D’Entremont “technically resigned” before any formal expulsion occurred. She added,
"Either way, his brief moment of political indecision ended with the door hitting him on the way out."
Conservative Supporters’ Reaction
The response from Conservative supporters online was immediate and harsh.
- One user labeled D’Entremont a “traitor.”
- Another commented, “Let him become the Liberals’ problem.”
