OFFICIAL STATEMENT – MP MARILYN GLADU FLOOR CROSSING TO LIBERAL PARTY

April 8, 2026
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Sarnia, ON — Pete Aarssen, President of the Sarnia–Lambton–Bkejwanong Conservative Party of Canada Riding Association, issued the following statement on Marilyn Gladu’s decision to cross the floor and join the Liberal Government:

Our Conservative Party of Canada riding association board of directors were not advised in advance of Marilyn Gladu’s decision to cross the floor, to personally negate the huge electoral win she earned as a Conservative Party of Canada candidate just a year ago. Like our Leader has recently said, and I echo his comments here:

“Mark Carney is seizing a costly Liberal majority that voters denied him, and doing so through backroom deals.

In January, MP Gladu said that floor crossers should face voters in a byelection to give voters the final say. I could not agree more.

She should do so. The people in her community voted for our Conservative vision of a Canada that is affordable, safe, and strong at home, not for the costly Liberal government she has now joined.

She should honour her word and let voters decide.”

As President of the Conservative Party of Canada Riding Association, we are saddened, shocked and deeply disappointed in Marilyn Gladu’s decision.

PETE AARSSEN
PRESIDENT
SARNIA–LAMBTON–BKEJWANONG CPC RIDING ASSOCIATION
