A social media post written by Matt Jeneroux, Conservative MP for Edmonton Riverbend, which reads: I want to be clear that there was no coercion involved in my decision to resign. I consider my colleagues in the Conservative Party very close friends, and I will miss them dearly. Since my resignation this evening, I had a great conversation with Pierre Poilievre, who wished me all the best, as I do him. I ran under his leadership in hopes we could form a government that would offer hope to Canadians. I wish him and my colleagues all the best as they continue to raise cost living issues facing Canadians. To reiterate, this long standing decision reflects my desire to spend more time with my family. My exact date of departure will be determined at a later day but likely this spring.

A screenshot of a news article which reads: Former Conservative campaign manager, Jenni Byrne, who is still an adviser to the party, has been involved in the party's efforts to quell possible floor-crossings, sources said.

When you unexpectedly leave the Conservative party and have to put out a statement to say there's "no coercion", there's definitely coercion.
