Prime Minister Mark Carney said it would be “better for Canada” if the Liberals held a majority government, a day after a Conservative MP crossed the floor to join the party.

“It’s better for Canada to have a (Liberal) majority before Christmas,” Carney told reporters in French during a Wednesday press conference.

Conservative MP Chris d’Entremont left the party to join the Liberals after officially resigning from the Conservative caucus. He joined the Liberal government hours after the budget was released.

“Mr. d’Entremant and I had a discussion in advance of his decision as was appropriate because he wanted to test what we were going to do in the budget, and in the scope of what’s required. And to see if there was alignment, and you can see that there is that alignment,” the prime minister said.

However, Carney remained coy about whether he has been trying to court other opposition members behind closed doors to cross the aisle and help the Liberals pass their newly unveiled budget.

“Are you or any members of your team actually in conversation with other members of the opposition to try to get them to join?” asked CBC News’ Tom Parry.

Carney responded by saying, “I’m in conversation with you right now, so I can’t be talking to anybody else.”

He added that Parliament “works well” when different parties talk to each other.

“Last spring, Canadians elected a minority parliament and put a check and balance on the power of an untested prime minister,” Conservative MP Micheal Chong said Wednesday. “Mr. Carney is trying to manipulate that result and get a majority Canadians did not elect.”

Carney only cares about what's good for Carney and his bank account.
 
Libs get majority and Alberta is separating for sure
 
‘Berta ain’t doin’ sheit; even if the will was there, they won’t be permitted to do it; by the time they wade though the legal BS and red tape the place will be 80% pajeets and the whole thing fizzles out. I think our hope needs to be downsized and outside the formal political structures.
 
Man im not a PP lover but theyre really trying hard to get rid of this guy. Liberals are foaming for him to resign. If he's so bad why do Liberals want him gone?

Wouldn't bad competition be good for them?
 
If the Conservatives had any brains, they wouldn’t vote down the budget. They should say, “This is what Canada voted for, so we’ll give the Liberals a year. Next year the US trade deal is up and Canada is going to get fucked hard.
 
If they had brains they would just pay some Liberals to switch to their side.

All the politicos want is money and maybe protection from their blackmail

border_humperIs there any way to jettison Montreal,Atlantic Canada, Toronto, and Vancouver from the country and keep most of the rest?
 
Hey, I've said it before and I'll say it again, choose MPs in large cities through closed party list. Percentage wise the number of people who voted Liberal is much lower than the number of seats they get in the present system. It's not a prefect idea, but it would help.
