Carney's budget passed. What happens next?

In the latest episode of Not 'Sorry' on Juno News, host Alexander Brown, Director of the National Citizens Coalition, delivers another unapologetic dive into Canadian politics. Joined by commentator Wyatt Claypool, the duo dissects the Liberals' razor-thin budget victory, passing 170-168 in the House of Commons.

While tensions around the vote appeared high, Brown and Claypool explore whether Canadians -- or the parties themselves -- were truly prepared for, or expected, a snap election amid the holiday season.

The conversation kicks off with the budget's nail-biting passage, highlighting how the Liberals barely scraped by without triggering a confidence vote collapse. Brown points out the strategic abstentions from NDP members, a move rooted in the party's dire financial straits, as they are presently saddled with a staggering $23 million in debt and currently lacking in full-time leadership. Claypool argues that a broke, broken, and ideologically radical NDP’s reluctancy to force an election stems more from internal struggles than ideological conviction.

The hosts analyze the silver lining for the Conservatives in this near-miss. Brown posits that Pierre Poilievre's team was likely breathing a sigh of relief, after dodging the risk of a snap Liberal majority as the Liberals still enjoy a kind of honeymoon effect from “elbows up” sentiment lingering in the polls. Instead, opposition life allows the Tories to amplify their critiques without the immediate pressure of again being dishonestly framed as risky reformers. Claypool expands on this, noting how the Conservatives can now let the Carney government wear escalating public frustrations over domestic crises in the near term.

It’s no perfect situation, but in a minority Parliament both the opposition parties and the public play a pivotal role in holding Canada’s failing entrenched interests to account. On that front, the hard work continues. Join Alex and Wyatt for the latest episode of Not ‘Sorry,’ and subscribe to Juno News for more leading independent journalism and commentary without apology.
