Liberal Minority Government 2025 - ???

Full transcript: PM Mark Carney’s exclusive Canadian interview with CTV News



A lot of good answers here, and olive branches to O&G, specifically saying yes to new pipelines
 
Beat me to it haha, I'm surprised they are waiting till fall, which is going to be half or more through the fiscal year

Given the circumstances and the severe uncertainty of what’s going on economically, I’ll grudgingly accept it in the present circumstances… That said, Parliament recesses June 23rd and resumes Sept 15th. I would hope and expect to see something promptly once they resume.

I'm thinking should vs shall .
I believe we will. It’s a political liability as is, the recognize the need for this to happen. I donMt have any reason to to think PMMC would dick around on this.

Awfully generous of our government to sit for a few weeks in Parliament.

Parliament’s not the government and the government’s not Parliament. The executive branch will be busy all summer doing their thing, and I fully expect will have teams drafting legislation they’ll want to see introduced in Parliament once it’s back. They can also push a lot forward in the regulatory space without Parliament in session, and there’s probably some low hanging fruit there in terms of things that will immediately start advancing policy objectives. Even if Parliament sat well into the summer, odds of much being ready to go legislatively would be low. I’m not fussed about this.

I give it 50/50. There won't be anything in the way of ramifications if they don't.

It seems like the Parliament is becoming less and less useful. Parliamentary oversight doesn't really seem important to Canadians.
 

FIRST READING: Carney is already steamrolling basic constraints on power

Only two months into the job, Prime Minister Mark Carney is already steamrolling through the usual checks by which a Canadian government is supposed to spend and manage taxpayer money.

During the federal election, Carney greenlit a record $70 billion without Parliamentary approval. And now, even before the House of Commons has reconvened, his government has signalled its intentions not to publish a budget.
 
Special warrants are a routine part of government. Hopper is rage farming.
Exactly this.

Part of his charade is a exploiting the ignorance of his audience to parliamentary system of government. Special warrants mean we are able to still function as a country if there are delays in passing a budget (such as an Election), and prevents the massive debacle that ensues down south when Congress can't pass theirs.

But then again, these are they kind of folks that want to exercise their 1A rights to be Manitoba... so I offer them nothing but eye rolls.
