Right-wing outlets weigh in on Conservative floor crossing, Carney's first budget
Activist media this week focused on Prime Minister Mark Carney’s minority Liberal government and its first, potentially last, budget. Among the day’s unexpected events, Rebel Media Alberta reporter Sheila Gunn Reid highlighted the defection of three-term Nova Scotia MP Chris D’Entremont from the Conservative benches to the Liberal caucus.
Gunn Reid described the move as a “political self-own” after D’Entremont was removed from the Conservative caucus for suggesting he might change parties on the same day the Liberals announced a $78-billion deficit budget. However, a Conservative spokesperson noted that D’Entremont “technically resigned” before being formally ousted.
“Either way, his brief moment of political indecision ended with the door hitting him on the way out,”
Online reactions from Conservative supporters were immediate and intense. Some accused him of betrayal, with one calling him a “traitor,” and another remarking, “Let him become the Liberals’ problem.”
Author’s Summary
Right-wing media framed D’Entremont’s switch to the Liberals as a symbolic blow to Conservatives and a timely distraction from Carney’s deficit-heavy budget.
