Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre just said he doesn't think his party will support the Bloc or NDP amendments to the budget; the HoC is due to vote on the former in about 10 minutes. So minority Liberals likely to survive this vote, too.

Three other CPC MPs also didn’t vote (and were not paired): Matt Jeneroux, Laila Goodridge and Shannon Stubbs, who, her office says, was on medical leave granted before the budget.

The political arbitrage between what people think the SCOC ruled on child porn sentencing and what the decision actually said…
My latest: THE SUPREME COURT HAS THROWN OUT THE CHILD PORNOGRAPHY LAW Well, they found the mandatory minimum sentence provision was overbroad, but— THEY WANT PERVERTS TO GO FREE No, they said the mandatory minimum sentence, or longer, should apply in nearly all cases. They were

The Govt. House Leader’s office tells @CityNewsTO they have deemed these votes upcoming on oppo amendments to the budget to be matters of confidence, beginning tonight. So it’s a put up/shut up move and the NDP has come on-side.
Vote coming up in HoC tonight. Looks like Carney govt. will survive, at least this week: NDP MPs will vote with government on first confidence vote on budget, per Canadian Press
