Politics Insider: Carney’s budget still hangs in the balance ahead of evening vote
Canada's Prime Minister Mark Carney exits the House of Commons after attending Question Period on Parliament Hill on November 17, 2025 in Ottawa, Canada. Canada's parliament is poised to vote November 17 on the budget proposed by Prime Minister Mark Carney, who opted to double the G7 country's deficit to kickstart the economy -- a risky move that could upend his minority government. The Liberal prime minister, who was elected to a full term in April to stare down US President Donald Trump and its protectionist tariffs, must win support from two opposition lawmakers -- or get abstentions -- to see his budget adopted. If the budget is voted down, it would trigger early elections. (Photo by Dave Chan / AFP) (Photo by DAVE CHAN/AFP via Getty Images)
