The really interesting thing will be seeing if any CPC MPs are ready to make a break from PP and back the PC/Liberal budget. I doubt it, but these last few weeks the cracks have been starting to show.
One senior NDP source and two Conservative sources say the path believed to be most likely is that some of the NDP’s seven MPs could abstain from voting, allowing the budget to pass.
Go check out what just went down in the Netherlands….. the far-right leader triggered a snap election, he held the coalition in balance…. oops, he lost 30% of his seats and the centrist party with a Trudeau-like leader (probably) won.
These snippets were very interesting

So the NDP’s 7 MPs are not aligned and the caucus has no structure. They’re a true wildcard.
You look at the struggle to get this first budget passed and wonder (assuming it is passed) just how much harder it will be this time next year. Perhaps that will be the natural time for the next election.
I was looking at recent minority Parliament to see where support for budgets have come from in the past, and really its been any party. Perhaps reflective of a less polarized environment (with less parties looking for an election).
|Year|PM, minority term #|Supported by|
|:-|:-|:-|
|1979|Clark|defeated|
|2005|Martin|Conservative, NDP support|
|2006|Harper I|Bloc support|
|2007|Harper I|Bloc support|
|2008|Harper I|Liberal support |
|2009|Harper II|Liberal support (after coalition crisis)|
|2010|Harper II|Liberal abstentions |
|2011|Harper II|Government falls before vote|
|2021|Trudeau I|Bloc, NDP, Green support (Covid)|
|2022-24|Trudeau II|NDP support (confidence deal)|
Maybe this mess can be cleaned up with a repeat of 2006, where the budget was passed [accidentally](https://www.cbc.ca/news/business/federal-budget-passes-unopposed-on-mix-up-1.595793) – oops
What I do not understand for the life of me, After listening to PP for the last, what has it been eight years or so, drum on and on and on about how this liberal government had not invested into our military or our infrastructure? Mark carney is doing all of that. And they’re going to vote against it? and if there was ever a time in my lifetime to ever build up our military, now is that time.
Everyone knows what the NDP is going to do, either support or abstain. Let’s not kid ourselves, even the media knows they just see easy pickings for articles.
Budgets don’t pass by accident. You either have the votes or you don’t.
1. If you **don’t** want an election, you go get the votes from a minor party.
1. If you **do** want an election, you load the budget with fluff and policies you’ll campaign on.
Submitting a budget without the votes, is to relinquish any control. The survival of this session will be up the NDP members, I guess. Regardless of Carney’s …fecklessness(?) the NDP have the power to ensure this session continues.

I simply can’t understand why an NDP MP would *want* to bring down the government right now. Considering the NDP has no leader, and is out of money, going to the polls right now would run the risk of the NDP getting wiped out of the House of Commons.
But even *if* the NDP somehow gained seats by toppling the government, what would the NDP have to gain from it? If the Liberals get a majority, the NDP will lose *all* influence it can have in the rest of this parliament. If the Conservatives get a majority, this current round of austerity will look like Keynesian spending by comparison. If there’s another minority government, we end up in the same place, but now the NDP is deeper in debt.
