In Canada, party discipline never goes out of style. @UBCPress

The federal @NDP caucus has endorsed parts of the Reform Act, allowing its MPs to decide on caucus membership, but declined to empower themselves to initiate a leadership review. Here's hoping @TheHillTimes does a story on it. 📰 ndp.ca/news/statement…

Why are Canadian politicians so loyal to their parties? Join Dr. Alex Marland for a Q&A on his book: No "I" in Team: Party Loyalty in Canadian Politics. July 23, 6–8 p.m., Pinnacle Hotel Harbourfront, Vancouver. Register: aualumni.info/43j1H2y

Canadian political parties--and the companies they hire--may soon be exempt from privacy laws on collecting and using your personal data. As the @globeandmail says: Canadians deserve better. #cdnpoli

Keeping political staff out of caucus meetings is a big win for Canadian democracy. Government-side MPs will now be able to speak more freely with the Prime Minister & better represent constituents. Though PMO coordination will be trickier. @TheHillTimes hilltimes.com/story/2025/06/…

The best way to understand Canadian politics is to read @AlexJMarland

“Knowing when to stand your ground is a great trait for a politician. There are moments when you have to say ‘No, I don’t agree. Not this MP. Not this government.’…I have no problem just flat out saying ‘No’.” -- Peterborough Liberal MP Emma Harrison kawarthanow.com/2025/07/08/as-…

So pleased to have submitted page proof revisions of “No I in Team: Party Loyalty in Canada” to University of Toronto Press. One final review of the manuscript remains until it goes into publication. #cdnpoli 😅📕🇨🇦

That might be true but the best political scientists can teach you an enormous amount about politics. Check Marland et al’s forthcoming book There’s No I in Team, for example. I read the page proofs recently and learned a great deal from it. Every MP should read it

One change in affiliation is individualistic. Two is a trend. What is happening in the Senate?
