Carney's Liberals Near Majority, Byelections Key

About this episode

Prime Minister Mark Carneys Liberal minority government is on the brink of a majority, thanks to a recent floor-crossing and upcoming byelections. With one seat short of a majority, a win in any of the byelections could give them the edge, but checks remain. Opposition-heavy committees could stall bills, and public opinion still holds sway, keeping Carney on his toes.

It's April 10, I'm Cory with the story. This is Canada News today, driven by AI. Ontario school board trustees are holding their breath ahead of October's elections, wondering if they'll even have jobs once Education Minister Paul. Kalandra drops his big reform plans. Earlier this week, before lawmakers headed out for the Good Friday break, Kalandra tees that is trust the overhaul legislation is locked and loaded, delayed from late 2025, but finally ready to roll. Right now, eight major boards across the province like Peel District, Toronto District, and others are under direct government supervision, with appointed overseers calling the shots instead of elected trustees. Kalandra says he's seeing real progress, especially on big builds in places like near north, and the supervised boards are getting back on track, though he warned trustees, not to hold out hope for a quick handover. Lawmakers return to Toronto on Monday, so expect that bill to hit the floor soon, shaking up how school boards run for good.
