‘For New Democrats, getting behind the Liberals may be even more of a stretch. Carney is planning increased defence spending but has also asked the rest of the government to find program reductions of 7.5 per cent in the next fiscal year, 2026-27, rising to 15 per cent in 2028-29.’
It is hard to support a budget no one has seen. If it features a slash and burn approach towards jobs and spending it is likely to result in an election.

Mr Prime Minister, you were given a minority mandate which means you need to work with at least one other party on this budget if you want it to pass.
Canadians do not want or need another election.
Get to work!

Just to be clear – if we go to election tomorrow it’ll be a majority liberal government and he’ll reinforce this budget.
The NDPs don’t have a viable candidate for leadership.
And Pierre has only been looking more insane since he shat on the last election.
There’s no way the NDP don’t support the libs here

I hear the budgetary flu virus is emerging in Ottawa.
No opposition party is in a position to benefit from an election right now. What will happen is just enough opposition members will be absent that day for the budget to pass, but opposition can still say “we voted against this”.

I won’t be voting for him again. His handling of this gun ban nonsense is too egregious and is still going to charge taxpayers 3/4 of a billion dollars for something his own public safety member acknowledged is a waste of money. His insistence as well to continue spending on programs that do nothing but virtue signal and foreign aid while planning on cutting jobs instead to make up the budget shortfall in the middle of economic downturn is also too much to forgive.
I had high hopes for him and I don’t like PP, but I expected evidence-based policy as an economist but only got more Trudeau.

I work for the BC government and there is honestly a lot of fat to trim but it’s mostly the excluded managers they have hired at ever increasing rates.

1000% Trudeau games .
Theres no election, its actually halirous that people think any other party is in position to go to the polls.
We are literally watching the CPC and NDP making a loose alliance , think about what that symbolizes.
The conservatives of this country need to take their party back , its getting embarrassing.

The liberals want an election. In there eyes they aim get a majority with a weak ndp and weak leader in pp.
They likely get another minority or at worse can do a coalition with the bloc or ndp if the CPC get a minority.
This is why we won’t get a trade deal. It keeps the convo on Trump and favors them. If we have a trade deal then eyes go to the deterioration of Canada the past ten years under them.
