Carney's Liberals Gain Majority via Floor Crossers

In a surprising turn of events, Prime Minister Mark Carneys Liberal government gains a majority as Nunavut NDP MP Lori Idlout crosses the floor, joining four other opposition MPs in the past four months. This move brings the Liberals close to a majority, with reactions divided among political parties. Historically, floor crossing is rare but not unprecedented, with examples dating back to Canadas first prime minister. Carney could make history as the first to reach majority through floor crossers alone, with by-elections next month potentially sealing the deal.
