Mark Carney’s Liberals managed to push through their 2025 budget in the House of Commons late Monday, thanks only to two NDP MPs who conveniently abstained from the final 170-168 vote.

Two Conservatives also abstained, while the rest voted against. Conservative MP Matt Jeneroux, who had previously announced his impending resignation next spring, was not present, nor did he cast a vote. Conservative MP Shannon Stubbs was on approved medical leave after surgery.

The Liberal budget passed, surviving the final hurdle after two earlier confidence motions on the budget bill.

“Tonight, the House of Commons has voted to pass Budget 2025,” Prime Minister Mark Carney said in a post to X. “It’s time to work together to deliver on this plan — to protect our communities, empower Canadians with new opportunities, and build Canada strong.”
The vote saw abstentions from two NDP MPs, Gord Johns and Lori Idlout, while the other five NDP MPs voted Nay.

“We have decided to put the interests of our country first—to vote against the budget but to help prevent an election,” NDP interim leader Don Davies told reporters after the vote.

All Bloc Quebecois MPs voted Nay.

However, Green Party Leader Elizabeth May voted in favour, following her pledge earlier in the day to support the Carney government’s budget to prevent an election, citing climate promises.

Carney is going to have to pay some people a lot of money behind the scenes to cross the floor now.

I'm fine with this at the current standing the government can still be taken down in a year a year and a half after maybe cdns see how fucking stupid they are but I doubt they will.

It's too bad two provinces pretty much pick who runs this country.
 
While I doubt the Cons will ever get re-elected, we are basically a one party state anyway so it doesn't matter. They do not care about the citizens, they are only interesting in looting and pillaging.
 
The budget passing or not has little impact where the country is heading
 
GST was introduced to lower the debt. Now we have debt on top of debt. Where will they find the money to pay down the new debt? We all can see the writing on the wall. People who vote for Liberals are a special kind of stupid. Perhaps when things get to difficult they will opt for MAID and take the easy way out
 

The real story? Nobody wanted an election. Not the Conservatives, not the NDP, not the Bloc, not the Greens. There was just no upside in going to the polls to replicate the status quo, which polls indicate would be the most likely scenario. Another minority Liberal government wouldn’t leave any party further ahead, just deeper in debt. Conservatives I spoke with on background, including activists and members of Parliament, confirmed this: it’s just not the right time. Internally, some were stung by the floor crossing, while others said the draconian response by party leadership soured the caucus mood. Externally, Leader Pierre Poilievre’s approval is now at its lowest point since becoming leader, according to Angus Reid’s latest data, which shows a drop among women, urban voters, and even parts of the Tory base. A Christmas election would have yielded a lump of coal.

Carney clearly comes out the winner in this drama, but what of Poilievre? Over the weekend, the Conservative leader again rejected calls to change his tone, pledging to continue fighting for an “affordable Canada.” That may be catnip to his core supporters — and that may have been the point. Poilievre faces a leadership review vote in January in Calgary, which will be well attended by the western faithful, but less so by more moderate members from Ontario, many of whom are attending a provincial Progressive Conservative convention in Toronto the same weekend. Poilievre needs a high score at his review, ideally above 90 per cent but certainly above 80, or he will be weakened. Still, the way the budget drama was handled has left many Conservatives shaking their heads. Factions have reportedly opened within the party over Poilievre’s leadership, though with no heir apparent there is no official movement. Insiders say Poilievre and his inner circle maintain an iron grip on the party structure, making any outside putsch a difficult affair. So putting politics over principle to enable a big spending budget presents little risk — even if taxpayers pay the price.
