MODERATORS
 

Ontario MP Michael Ma announced Thursday that he is leaving the Conservative caucus and joining the Liberals.

The MP said in a statement that he made the decision after listening to his constituents in the riding of Markham-Unionville in the Greater Toronto Area.

"This is a time for unity and decisive action for Canada's future," he wrote.

"In that spirit, I have concluded that Prime Minister Mark Carney is offering the steady, practical approach we need to deliver on the priorities I hear every day while door-knocking in Markham-Unionville."

One more to go, every person the cons lose is a win.

They need to split their party.

Realistically the LPC are where the moderate conservatives are, and Pollievre is shedding that part of their voter base faster than a husky in the summer sheds its fur.

Ideally PP should join the PPC.

The Liberal platform is a PC platform, so that makes sense. The CPC is already the Reform Party.

Give it another decade or two like this and it'll cement the shift.

In BC the libs were the cons. The cons were the whackos. The ndp were the libs.

After the libs fell apart and joined the cons, were left with whackos and libs. No real NDP left like at the fed level.
