flag Alberta Conservative MP Matt Jeneroux defects to Liberals, boosting their seat count to 169.

flag Matt Jeneroux, a Conservative MP from Alberta, has defected to the Liberal Party, increasing the Liberals’ seat count to 169 in Canada’s House of Commons, three short of a majority. flag The move, which avoids a byelection, strengthens Prime Minister Mark Carney’s government as it seeks to pass legislation without opposition support. flag Jeneroux cited Carney’s Davos speech criticizing major powers and concerns over national unity as key reasons for his switch. flag The defection marks the third from the Conservatives in recent months, drawing criticism from opposition leader Pierre Poilievre, who accused Carney of backroom deals. flag The Liberals now await special elections to fill three vacant seats.
