The Liberals need a few floor-crossers to form a majority. That might not be so easy

With the federal Liberals just a few seats shy of a majority government, there’s been some speculation over whether Prime Minister Mark Carney might be zeroing in on members of Parliament from other parties to cross the floor and join his party’s fold.

But coaxing over those few MPs needed for a majority would still be a significant challenge, some observers say.

“Oh, that’s hard,” said former B.C. NDP MP Nathan Cullen. “That’s a whole heap of moral flexibility that you’re going to be seeking.”

I doubt it will be difficult.
