Could Carney’s Majority Backfire?

7A fragile majority could change everything in Ottawa.

This isn’t just about three by-elections—it’s about who really holds power next.

In this episode, we break down:

• Canada federal by-elections and why the April 13 votes matter far beyond vacant seats
• Mark Carney’s path to a razor-thin Liberal majority and what that means for Parliament
• Floor crossings, party switching, and why internal dissent could weaken government control
• How committee restructuring could reshape bills on immigration, crime, housing, energy, and affordability
• Why Quebec and Alberta could gain new leverage through separatist pressure and regional bargaining
• The constitutional and political risks of a “cobbled together” majority government in Canada
• How global energy instability, oil prices, and Iran tensions could affect Canadian politics and resource policy
