Uncertain Budget Victory for Carney's Liberals

Less than a week from Budget Day, it is unclear if Mark Carney's Liberals will maintain the confidence of the House.

The Bloc Québécois opposes the budget unless its six demands are met.
Pierre Poilievre's Conservatives demand a deficit below $42 billion, sweeping tax cuts, and an end to industrial carbon pricing.
The New Democrats may provide relief, but could see an election as a path back to official party status.

A pyrrhic budget victory could land Carney in the legislative hurt.

A narrow victory by Christmas may prove costly for Carney, losing his chance to secure a majority mandate.

Author's summary: Carney faces uncertain budget victory.
