Carney's majority — how he can use it, how he can lose it

Today on On The Line, host Matt Gurney is joined by two guests to break down what comes next for Canada’s governing party.

First up is Jamie Carroll of Carroll & Co., for a conversation about the Liberal Party of Canada now that Mark Carney has secured a majority government. What does he do with it? What are the immediate priorities, and what actually needs to happen to turn political momentum into results? Carroll explains why a slim majority can create unique challenges in managing caucus, and Matt presses him on the perennial risk of Liberal hubris — and whether Carney can avoid the mistakes that have tripped up past governments.

Then Matt is joined by Gregory Jack of Ipsos to talk about what voters are actually looking for. Even in a political environment still shaped by Donald Trump and global uncertainty, the fundamentals haven’t changed: affordability remains the defining issue. Jack walks through the latest polling on what Canadians expect from the government, and where Carney will need to deliver if he wants to hold onto public support.

It’s a practical look at power, priorities, and the narrow path between political success and overreach. Be sure to visit our main page at ReadTheLine.ca, and as always, like and subscribe.
