OTTAWA — Any plans to shore up his minority government won’t include the NDP.
Speaking to reporters at his first press conference since his election win, Prime Minister Mark Carney said that — unlike his predecessor — he won’t be seeking a supply and confidence agreement with the all-but-obliterated New Democrats to counter government-toppling confidence motions from the opposition.
“No. Short answer, no.” Carney said when asked by a reporter, adding the word “why?” when asked to elaborate.
“We campaigned on a very clear set of objectives, very clear policies to back those up, and we received the highest number of votes in Canadian history,” he said.
Carney will head to Washington on Tuesday for his first official visit since his Liberals won a minority government, flying south to meet with U.S. President Donald Trump.
“As I’ve stressed repeatedly, our old relationship (with the United States), based on steadily-increasing integration, is over,” he said. “The questions now are how our nations will cooperate in the future, and where, we in Canada, will move on.”
The focus of the chat, he said, will be on immediate trade pressures and the future of any economic relationship between the two nations.
“My government will fight to get the best deal for Canada,” he said. “We will take all the time necessary, but not more, in order to do so.”
Carney also announced that King Charles will deliver the throne speech in the House of Commons on May 27, one day after Parliament resumes following the federal election.

Carney won’t enter a formal agreement with NDP to shore up minority government
Unlike his predecessor, he won't be seeking a supply and confidence agreement with the all-but-obliterated New Democrats.
Well, looking at the NDP track record over the last few years in voting
It was RIGGED! And STOLEN!
You don't live in a democracy. True Dope is a dick-tater. Mark Carney doesn't exist, he's just True Dope in disguise.
It's all the Commies whut done it.
What are you going on about? Must be the drugs!
The NDP party was reduced to seven seats — five short of the 12 needed to be a recognized party in the House of Commons. Oh well…
Being a recognized party in the House grants certain privileges that the NDP has now lost. Those include being guaranteed a question in the daily question period, participation in committees and funding for the leader's office and research bureau.
The newly appointed interim leader of the NDP says the party — at this point — won't be using its limited leverage in Parliament to back the Liberal government in exchange for the perks that come with being a recognized party he claims.

"We need to function as a parliamentary caucus without any quid pro quo. We think it's just important for the functioning of Parliament," Don Davies told CBC's Rosemary Barton Live unlike the years Jagmeet & the NDP kept the Liberals in power since the parking kerfuffle in Ottawa.

With a strong minority government of 170 seats — just two short of the 172 needed for a majority — Prime Minister Mark Carney doesn’t have to make special deals with any other party to stay in power. He can, if he chooses, return to the traditional way of governing with a minority, which is to...

That's pretty much what happened this last election.
Exactly , sellout Singh , got his pension but destroyed the party .
More likely the lack of proper drugs.What are you going on about? Must be the drugs!
This just sounds sooo familiar…
May is the lone Green MP in the House of Commons after the party secured only one seat in the federal election.
May says she wants to grow the party's parliamentary caucus before stepping down, So…back up to two seats (?) while focusing on the climate crisis, affordability and justice and peace in conflict-ridden areas.
She says members will soon receive details about a leadership review and how to participate in a vote.
May says she plans to step down once the new leader, or co-leaders (?), are elected.

This is where someone needs to make the Greens a western party.
So…have two candidates run & win, & they outnumber May and dictate policy for the Green Party? Something like that?
Maybe the green party leadership could use the help of the longest ballot committee.
Well, today (September 15th, 2025) is the day the House of Commons sits for the Fall session.
Carney spent part of the summer taking away political ammunition from Poilievre by pausing the electric vehicle and reviewing more Trudeau-era climate initiatives, despite causing some frustration from his party’s left flank. He also made good on two campaign promises by setting up new entities: Major Projects Office and Build Canada Homes.
But the billions in new spending and a slower economy will lead to a substantially bigger deficit, according to Carney, who said on Sunday it would be “bigger than it was last year.”
Then, there is the issue of crime. Liberals know it cost them crucial seats in Ontario in the last election, so expect it to be one of their main legislative priorities this session.
Justice Minister Sean Fraser told reporters last week that he will be tabling “legislation dealing with intimidation and obstruction” of places of worship “in the very near future” and that legislation touching on bail reform could be coming as soon as next month.
Fraser also expects to table a third bill this session dealing with intimate partner violence and victims in the criminal justice process.
The goal, according to Liberal sources, is to secure some “easy wins” in the parliamentary process with issues that receive cross-partisan support and don’t cost too much money.

Whether Poilievre will be more collaborative — or less — in this fall session remains to be seen. But already, the Conservative leader has vowed to work with any party, even the governing Liberals, to “make this session a success for the Canadian people.”
“We will oppose things we’re against, support things we’re for, but we will also propose solutions to the problems Liberals have created,” he said.
