Marilyn Gladu, a long-time Conservative MP, has switched sides to join Prime Minister Mark Carney’s Liberal party.
She is the fifth floor-crosser, the fourth Conservative, and one seat that hands Carney a majority whether or not the Liberals win the Quebec riding of Terrebonne during the April 13 byelections.
