The CBC projects that the Liberals have won the University-Rosedale by-election, and therefore Mark Carney has a majority.

Two by-elections from today are yet to be called.

1 week ago 21 4 1 0

Adding to this β€” there’s three by-elections on Monday. Two are historically safe Liberal seats and one is a toss-up BQ/Liberal race.

172 is a razor-thin majority that protects the government on confidence votes. But 173 grants more control over committees and the legislative agenda.

An interesting assessment from activist Yves Engler, who was barred from running for NDP leader back in December.

On social media, Engler said he would have gotten third place if he was allowed to participate (but it's not clear how he's basing that). He also congratulated Lewis. #cdnpoli #canpoli

Wab Kinew scrummed with reporters about half an hour ago. He's much more positive than Nenshi and Beck, saying relations will be "very good" and the two groups will get to work right away.

Kinew added he's not concerned that Lewis said he won't support new fossil fuel projects. #cdnpoli #canpoli

And another one from Saskatchewan NDP Leader Carla Beck, who's calling Lewis' positions on natural resource development "ideological and unrealistic."

She also says when Lewis reverses his positions, she will meet with him. A chilly reception to Lewis from the provinces so far. #cdnpoli #canpoli

Some cracks are already forming in the NDP under Avi Lewis. In a sharp statement just now, Alberta NDP Leader Naheed Nenshi says the federal party's direction is "not in the interests of Alberta."

In sum, Nenshi supports more oil and gas development. Lewis does not. #cdnpoli #canpoli

Spent the last hour and a bit listening to Poilievre's interview with Joe Rogan.

Overall, it's tracking to be a pretty standard chat. Poilievre says he's texted Carney while he's in the US and believes the Conservatives will "overwhelmingly" win the next election.

Pierre Poilievre has confirmed via X that he did an interview with leading podcaster Joe Rogan during his trip to the United States (in this case β€” Austin, Texas).

No mention of when the episode will air, but safe to assume it’s this week given Rogan’s upload schedule. #cdnpoli #canpoli
