All that said, I hope that Carney instead chooses to build consensus.

As I understand it, that has been how he has operated in his previous roles.

They've also "deported" (exiled is a better word) actual citizens. Someone on a green card has less protection than that.

While Trump is still a factor, the BQ has common interests with the Liberals.

but typically fall apart after about a year.

The last minority survived for almost 4 years.

Until the Trump Threat is neutralized (or at least muted) the BQ has common interests with the Liberals, so they could provide the needed votes to keep the government going.

And the NDP has no appetite (or budget) for another election in the near future, so they also have some incentive to play nice - and may even be able to get some more of their priorities acted on.

The Conservatives, of course, will continue to vote against anything and everything the Liberals propose, for no other reason than it was the Liberals who introduced the motion.

He sounds like he's ready to spend on capitol projects at the moment.

In his book he calls for government spending on capital projects in order to kick-start private investment in expanding their businesses (and payrolls, ultimately leading to more employees in better paid jobs and therefore at a higher taxable level)

it sounds like the Bloc really wants a rematch.

I doubt they'll try to topple the government until the threat of Trump is neutralized. Or at least significantly muted. They have a common goal with the rest of the country on that issue.

Plus, what's their warchest look like at the moment?

that's in to a lot of conservative ideas

Fiscal conservative ideas, maybe.

Socially he's relatively liberal. Maybe not quite as much as Trudeau, but nowhere near what the CPC has become.

The numbers allow a continuation of a Liberal-NDP confidence-and-supply arrangement.

Or a less formal agreement, if there is no appetite for a similar arrangement as last time.

Or, my preference, working to consensus with both BQ and NDP.

America had an incredibly good thing going for them, but thanks to greed and ignorance it still wasn’t enough.

Trump is basically the living embodiment of the fable of the Goose that laid the golden eggs.

One of these days they'll mess with the wrong Gomez

I feel like RFK can do more damage.

His insanity can cause (or accelerate) a global pandemic.

You force the people who are breaking the system out.
