Liberal Minority Government 2025 - ???

Carney move to actually get a big energy project and ditch the deadweight in his party?

I think so.
And he’s going to ditch a lot of the social shaping BS as well, like gun control.

He’s got to be able to say to every leftie in his party- “if you don’t like what I’m doing, I’ll replace you with a Conservative”.

Well, wouldn't be an interesting turn of events.

I wonder when she's calling the byelection. 3 months ago she was calling for those byelections for floor crossers. She's also closer to the PPC than LPC so why is Carney courting the fringe right of the CPC?

She won’t, of course… None of them mean it except as a partisan sound byte.

I suspect he’s made it clear he’ll give her a decent role. But stick to economic and infrastructure stuff and don’t become an anchor by dragging up social issues. Knowing that he has a three year run probably goes him more comfort there.

If, as others are speculating, he anticipates several more, that will also mean he’ll have room to fire people… And I think it’s known and understood that he will if necessary.

I suspect any more floor crossers he is courting are people he believes will actually bring benefit to the team, not just crossing to give him a majority. I anticipate a cabinet shuffle once the by-elections are done for his majority team

Agreed. Look to the CVs. Not that he’ll turn away an easy seat flip, but his headhunting is about experience, not just bums in seats.

Maybe PMMC should just cut out the middle man and all these floor crossings and invite the Conservatives to be junior partners in a coalition National Emergency government...

The ides of April doesn't really have the same ring to it.

Guess we'll see after Monday.

Wasn’t Slapinsky the one posting some uh… rather eyebrows-raising and clearly admiring AI pictures of Poilievre for months on end?

Appears to have had a change of opinion at some point.

Or at worst, he's grifting.
