NDP statement on MP Gladu’s floor-crossing « Canada’s NDP

April 8, 2026 at 9:30 am  Federal, Politics

Leah Gazan, NDP Critic for Women and Gender Equity, issued the following statement:

“It is outrageous but not surprising that in his drive to stitch together a majority government, Prime Minister Mark Carney is further sacrificing long-held Liberal positions on issues of fundamental rights.

Marilyn Gladu is known as a far-right social conservative. She is listed as “anti-choice” by the Abortion Rights Coalition of Canada. She ran for leader of the Conservative Party of Canada with a promise to allow Conservative members to introduce legislation restricting abortion. And she opposed a ban on conversion therapy.

She was also publicly rebuked by her own former Leader for spreading vaccine misinformation.

We are seeing more evidence every day that Mark Carney is a conservative, and that there are now two conservative parties in the House of Commons. New Democrats will never stop fighting for gender equality and for reproductive rights.”
