Uncertain Budget Victory for Carney's Liberals
Less than a week from Budget Day, it remains unclear if Mark Carney's Liberals will maintain the confidence of the House.
- The Bloc Québécois opposes the budget unless its six demands are met.
- Pierre Poilievre's Conservatives have set conditions: a deficit below $42 billion, sweeping tax cuts, and an end to industrial carbon pricing.
- The New Democrats may provide relief, but could see an election as a path back to official party status.
A narrow victory may prove pyrrhic, a lost chance for Carney to secure the majority mandate he needs.
Author's summary: Carney's budget faces uncertain vote.
