Prime Minister Mark Carney is nearing a majority government in Parliament following continued defections from the Conservative party. This marks the fifth opposition lawmaker to join the Liberals since the 2025 election.
Recent developments include an opposition legislator defecting to the ruling Liberal Party on Wednesday, bolstering the Prime Minister’s position. These shifts are expected to ease the passage of Carney’s agenda.
The Liberal Party is also anticipating success in two upcoming special elections, which could further expand their parliamentary power. Additional Conservative lawmakers have also chosen to join the Liberal Party, solidifying the prospect of a majority government.
