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 focused heavily on a surprising shift involving Nova Scotia MP Chris D’Entremont and Prime Minister Mark Carney’s first budget under the minority Liberal government.

D’Entremont’s Political Move

Sheila Gunn Reid, a Rebel Media reporter from Alberta, quickly highlighted D’Entremont’s decision to leave the Conservative backbenches for the Liberals. She described this as a “political self-own” because it happened on the same day the Liberals unveiled a $78-billion deficit budget.

“D’Entremont 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.”

However, Reid also noted a Conservative spokesperson’s clarification that D’Entremont “technically resigned” before any formal ousting occurred. Reid summed it up by saying:

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

Conservative Supporters’ Response

Reaction online from Conservative supporters was immediate and harsh:

One user called D’Entremont a “traitor.”
Another commented, “Let him become the Liberals’ problem.”
