Quote from: saskganesh on April 09, 2026, 08:45:18 PMIf he has a majority in 2026, he won't need an election until 2029. That's a solid from a government perspective.

Floor crossings will continue. If he undermines the cons further, forcing PP's resignation, the conservatives  will choose another mediocrity, so Carney will be PM until 2038. That's a long haul.

And if an election was cold today, he would have a massive majority.  So again, why focus on a narrow majority?

Bird in the hand I suppose.

Absolutely.  Elections are, despite poll numbers, hard to predict. Anything can happen during a campaign. Why risk it, when courting floor crossers is so much less messy

Early Spring here has already been unusual dry, this might be the new normal?

For you, maybe. But BC its the first time in 43 years. Things will swing around a couple more times before the new normal is established.

Southern Quebec just had it's longest winter in, what I figure is, a decade and half. Everything is wet.
