Abstract

The article focuses on Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney's progress toward securing a majority government in Parliament following the defection of Marilyn Gladu, a Conservative lawmaker from southwestern Ontario, to the Liberal Party. Gladu cited a desire for "a more constructive, collaborative approach" and stronger economic leadership as reasons for her switch. This marks the fifth opposition member to join the Liberals since the 2025 election, including four Conservatives and one New Democrat. With three upcoming special elections favoring the Liberals, Carney is poised to achieve a parliamentary majority, enabling his government to pass legislation without opposition support.
