Canada News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now! — Liberals Secure Majority, Eye Floor Crossers. Machine-transcribed; use the interactive transcript above to jump the player to any line.
Prime Minister Mark Carney just turned his minority government into a slim majority by sweeping three by elections. The Liberals now hold 174 seats in the House of Commons, giving them a two-seat cushion. This marks the first time a Canadian Prime Minister has pulled off a majority like this through strategic gains. They dominated two races in Ontario, and edged out a tight winning Quebec on April 13th. Two faces joining the caucus include former NDP deputy, Dolly Begum, Danielle Martin, and Tatiana Agost, boosting the team's momentum. Politicos are buzzing that the conservatives put on a lackluster show, dropping hints its prime time for Liberals to hunt for floor crossers from the Bose, opposition benches. With popularity still riding high, insiders say the party is eyeing a four or five-seat buffer to lock things down even tighter against any. That sets the stage for some real power plays ahead as Carney steers the ship with this fresh
edge. That wraps Canada News today, brought to you with AI. I'm Cory with the story.
