Prime Minister Mark Carney has called three federal by-elections for April 13, 2026. The Liberals currently hold 169 seats – just three seats short of a majority government.
If the Liberals win all three, Carney could govern without facing another election for up to three years. The NDP is calling this “a manipulation of democracy.”
From an NDP perspective, this video examines why Carney is avoiding a general election, how floor crossings undermine voter intent, and what working-class Canadians stand to lose under a majority government with no opposition.
📊 KEY FACTS:
• Current Liberal seats: 169 | Majority needed: 172
• Three Conservative MPs crossed the floor to join the Liberals
• Terrebonne, Quebec: Liberals won by ONE VOTE in 2025. Supreme Court ordered a do-over.
• If Liberals win all three: No election for three years. No opposition. No accountability.
❓ NDP QUESTIONS:
• Why is Carney afraid of a general election?
• Is it democratic to pass laws for three years without facing voters?
• What happens to workers, renters, and patients when there is no opposition?
