Write to your Member of Parliament Representative who was not elected as a Liberal, but was instead Block, NDP, Green or Conservative, etc. Let them know that you support them through the party they are elected through and that you will continue to to support their party and will not support any choice to cross the floor to the Liberal Party. Let them know that you appreciate integrity and to cross the floor would in fact betraying you as a voter in their area.

OPEN LETTER TO MY MEMBER OF PARLIAMENT
(Template — copy/paste, fill in the brackets, send or post publicly.)

Dear [MP Name],

I’m writing as a constituent of [Riding/Community] to be clear about something that matters to many voters: I supported you because you ran and were elected as a member of [Party]. That party, its platform, and its values were part of the choice voters made.

For that reason, I do not support any decision to cross the floor to the Liberal Party (or any other party you did not run under). Crossing the floor would not be a minor adjustment—it would be a fundamental change in representation. It would break faith with the people who voted for you based on a specific party commitment and mandate.

Integrity in public office means keeping your word and respecting the mandate you were given. If you no longer feel you can represent [Party] or the platform you were elected on, the honest and democratic option is to seek a new mandate from voters.

Please remain with the party you were elected to represent, and continue serving with accountability and integrity.

Sincerely,
[Your Full Name]
[City/Town], [Province]
[Postal Code]
(Optional) [Email / Phone]

Public note: This letter is shared as an open template so any Canadian constituent can send the same message to their own MP.

Dear [MP Name],
I’m a voter in [Riding], and I’m reaching out to share something important. I supported you because you ran for office as a [Party] candidate, and I value representatives who respect the commitments made to voters.

While I understand politics can be complex, I would be strongly opposed to any move to cross the floor to the Liberal Party. In my view, that would contradict the mandate you were elected to carry out and would undermine trust in representation.

Thank you for your work and for continuing to serve with integrity.
Sincerely,
[Your Name]
[City, Postal Code]

Dear [MP Name],
I’m writing as a constituent in [Riding]. I supported you in the last election because you ran under the banner of the [Conservative / NDP / Bloc / Green / etc.] party, and that choice mattered to me.

I want to be clear: I support you through the party you were elected to represent, and I will continue to support [Party] in future elections. I would not support any decision to cross the floor to the Liberal Party.

Crossing the floor wouldn’t be a small change—it would break faith with the voters who elected you on a specific platform and set of values. I appreciate integrity and accountability in public office, and I expect my representative to honour the mandate they were given.

Thank you for your service, and for respecting the trust voters placed in you.
Sincerely,
[Your Name]
[City, Postal Code]

Listened to Ganum today as it is Friday and Cross Talk with other radio hosts in Canada. The guy from B.C. mentioned shootings in Surrey which was the first any of them heard - too busy giving Canadians news from south of the border. After the show Shay had open line and a long time listener (tesla Jim) phoned in and said he watches all the Global news from AB and Canada and knew nothing about it. I hadn't either. Do we need further proof that the Canadian media is corrupt.

Does anyone know if Dougie has commented on the "Crown Royal Players championship of curling in Manitoba. I must admit I had to look twice to see if I was actually seeing correctly. Good for a chuckle. Ontario only made the dam bottles not the booze.
