Liberals Get a Majority—What Happens Now?

About this episode

The episode discusses the implications of the Liberals gaining a majority in Canada and the resulting political dynamics.

The Liberals have a majority, now what? With a stronger grip on power in Ottawa, big questions are being raised. Add in controversial floor crossings, and Canadians are divided—some celebrating, others frustrated. Why did MPs switch sides? What does this new majority mean within a system of parliamentary democracy? Will this enable a new policy direction or more of the same? Join David Leis live with Georganne Burke, who knows the floor crossers and why they made the move, and Marco Navarro-Genie, VP of Research at Frontier Centre, as they break down what this means for Canada’s future.
