The prime minister was asked if he’ll pursue a governing pact with the NDP. “No,” he said.

And why not, the reporter asked.

“Why?” Carney retorted.

The PM said the Liberals campaigned on a clear set of objectives, and while they didn’t quite get a majority, “we will be putting forth legislation that’s consistent with our platform.”

The NDP are gonna be in a leadership race for the next six months.

Tactically, they will probably avoid bringing down the government until that happens, so they can be counted on to abstain from or support most confidence votes.
