Yeah, great move from an indigenous MP siding with the government that not long ago tried to bypass treaty rights for “projects of national interest”.
You’re totally going to get a good voice in with all the Conservatives who crossed the floor, including someone who suggested sending in the military to deal with the Wet’suwet’en pipeline protests.
Idlout’s crossing was dumb and outright pathetic. Like congrats on being the token indigenous person for whenever the Liberals run into issues with indigenous people. “Well actually we’re not trampling over indigenous rights, look, we have an indigenous woman here!”.
But, they’re still going to have more influence from within the party than not. I don’t think it’s that stupid to have crossed. Especially now that they’re a majority.
“A good move”

Yeah. I get your point. 😓
