The Numbers: Poilievre on the Ropes as Carney's Majority in Sight
The Liberals' majority now runs through Terrebonne. Or Rosemont-La-Petite-Patrie. Or from another floor-crosser?
With the decision of Edmonton Riverbend MP Matt Jeneroux to cross from the Conservatives over to the Liberals — rather than resign as he said he would back in November — Pierre Poilievre’s leadership of the Conservative Party is again under the microscope.
And with one additional MP joining the government benches and a series of by-elections on the horizon, Mark Carney and the Liberals are within sight of the majority government they were denied in the 2025 federal election.
This week on The Numbers, Eric and Philippe break down the implications of Jeneroux’s floor-crossing, the over-turning of the Terrebonne election result and the potential resignation of NDP MP Alexandre Boulerice, who is reportedly eyeing greener (or more orange?) pastures at the provincial level.
We also have some new polls to discuss out of British Columbia, Ontario, Nova Scotia and Quebec.
