Mixed Reactions to Chris d'Entremont's Party Switch in Nova Scotia
Chris d'Entremont, MP for Acadie-Annapolis, recently crossed the floor from the Conservative Party to join the governing Liberals. This move has generated a range of responses in his Nova Scotia home, with some expressing full support while others feel he misled voters about his intentions.
Reasons for the Switch
D'Entremont explained to reporters on Wednesday that he left the Conservative caucus because he no longer felt represented by leader Pierre Poilievre’s party.
Local Perspectives
Linda Gregory, warden of the Municipality of the District of Digby, shared her thoughts with CBC News:
“That does not surprise me. I think of Poilievre as a right-winger. I personally would run too.”
Although Gregory’s municipality is part of d’Entremont’s southwest Nova Scotia riding, she admitted the party switch was unexpected given his reputation as a “staunch Conservative.”
“But he's also got a lot of integrity. He's also a very caring person, caring about his community, caring about what's best. And to me, when he walked across the floor, he made a decision that was very heart-wrenching for him to make the best choice for our community.”
Political Background
