“A Canadian opposition lawmaker joined Prime Minister Mark Carney’s governing Liberal Party on Tuesday, a political coup on a day when the government announced its budget for the year. Chris d’Entremont, a member of Parliament from Nova Scotia, said in a statement he’s joining the government caucus because he shares Carney’s economic priorities. … The move puts the Liberals two seats shy of a majority government and being able to pass their budget without opposition support. The defection is a blow to Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre, who is facing a leadership review vote in January.” (11/05/25)
