§ Contrast

Floor-crossers get rewarded. Climate ridings get ignored.

While former Conservatives are welcomed into the Liberal fold, climate-focused Liberal MPs are being asked to carry the political cost of pipeline expansion. Their constituents deserve to know: what did their riding receive in return?

Column A

The floor-crosser

→ Welcomed into caucus with visible profile.
→ Reported access to leadership and cabinet conversations.
→ A riding switched into the Liberal column overnight.
→ Rewarded for arriving, not for a record.

Column B

The climate-riding MP

→ Years of climate advocacy on the public record.
→ Asked to defend or excuse pipeline expansion locally.
→ No visible wins for the riding tied to that political cost.
→ Expected to take voters' loyalty for granted.

The question every climate riding should be asking

If floor-crossers are welcomed with attention and influence, and long-time climate-focused MPs are asked to sell a policy that contradicts their record, what exactly did loyalty buy? Constituents deserve a public answer — not a talking point.
