Conservative MP Matt Jeneroux Resigns, Strengthening Liberal Position
Conservative MP Matt Jeneroux announced on Thursday that he will step down from his position as the Member of Parliament for Edmonton Riverbend. Despite recent speculation, he confirmed that he will not be joining the Liberal Party.
Reports circulated on Wednesday suggesting that Jeneroux might follow former colleague Chris d’Entremont in leaving the Conservatives to join the Liberals, but those claims have now been dismissed.
“I will not be joining the Liberals as some rumours have suggested,” said Jeneroux during his resignation announcement.
Context of Political Shifts
His departure moves the Liberals slightly closer to securing a majority in Parliament, intensifying the political balance at the federal level.
Media Independence Statement
Juno News emphasized its independence in reporting, stating that it operates without government funding and relies on reader support to continue its work free from federal influence.
“Unlike the legacy media, Juno News receives zero tax dollars.”
They encouraged readers to support their outlet through premium subscriptions as part of their stance against media control policies in Ottawa.
