Show Notes

The Liberal government, led by Prime Minister Mark Carney, is nearing a majority in the House of Commons, with 170 seats secured and two more expected from upcoming byelections in Toronto. The Terrebonne byelection remains a tight race between the Liberals and Bloc Québécois, with the Liberals relying on Carneys Quebec support and the Bloc backing their candidate. Political experts warn that a slim majority of 172 seats could complicate caucus management and rely on Speaker Francis Scarpaleggias tie-breaking vote. More shifts are expected, with MPs like Nathaniel Erskine-Smith and Alexandre Boulerice considering provincial or Quebec runs, potentially triggering new byelections.
