1 week agoCanadian PM Mark Carney clears budget vote, averting snap elections
Prime Minister Mark Carney's minority government narrowly survived a confidence vote on Monday as Canadian lawmakers endorsed a motion to begin debating his first federal budget a result that avoids the prospect of a second election in less than a year. The House of Commons voted 170-168 to advance study of the fiscal plan. While further votes are expected in the coming months, the slim victory signals that the budget is likely to be approved eventually.
