At the House of Assembly in Ottawa, 343 candidates can vote on law projects. The prime minister has to possess more than half of the assembly to pass any laws. So, he recently added 7 more candidates to his party, which put his party in the majority. Now, he has 174 people that he can count on to vote for his laws.

But what is floor-crossing? In Canada, floor-crossing refers to a political action where an elected member of the parliament leaves their current political party to join another party. In this case, it means that the minor parties lost members and the Liberal Party gained some.

The midterm survey was done in May 2026, and it presented surprising results. 46% of Canadians are still voting for the Liberals, 35% of them are voting for the Conservatives, and the rest are voting for a minority.

Mark Carney started his career working in a bank. Then, he joined Goldman Sachs, a powerful bank in which he stayed for multiple years. After some time, he finally decided to join the Bank of Canada. Mark climbed his way up into the government and was hired in the Department of Finance. He quickly became the deputy minister. But before all that, he played in the NHL. He was a goalie for the Edmonton Oilers. When he was the deputy minister, he was chosen to be the Prime Minister of Canada by Justin Trudeau.

After the seven deputies changed sides, Pierre Poilievre said that such moves disregarded the mandate voters had given to Conservative candidates and accused the government of trying to gain power through political maneuvering rather than elections. The Conservatory party was in disbelief.

Contrary to them, the Liberal Party was shocked that their convincing skills worked. This brings a big advantage to the table. The rest of the term is going to be way different.
