Chris d'Entremont's Party Switch Sparks Mixed Reactions in Nova Scotia
MP Chris d'Entremont's recent switch from the Conservative Party to the governing Liberals has sparked varied opinions in his home province of Nova Scotia. While some people fully support his decision, others feel he misled voters about his true intentions.
D'Entremont Explains His Move
D'Entremont, representing Acadie-Annapolis, told reporters on Wednesday that he left the Conservative caucus because he no longer felt represented by leader Pierre Poilievre’s direction.
“That does not surprise me,” said Linda Gregory, the warden of the Municipality of the District of Digby. “I think of Poilievre as a right-winger. I personally would run too.”
Mixed Views from Local Officials
Although Gregory recognizes d'Entremont as a longtime "staunch Conservative," she found the switch unexpected but believes it was a difficult, sincere choice made for the good of the community.
“He’s also got a lot of integrity. He’s 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.”
