Mark Carney’s minority government has an unexpected partner in the Conservatives — for now

OTTAWA—There’s a new coalition in town.

If the last Parliament was dominated by the Conservatives’ insistence that the Liberal-NDP alliance had spun the country into an irreversible state of disarray, the opening weeks of the latest session has put a new pact on the map.

“It appears to me, and it remains to be seen, that (Prime Minister) Carney’s new majority coalition is Liberal-Conservative, delivering Pierre Poilievre’s policies with a more friendly face,” said the Green Party’s Elizabeth May on Monday, as she raised the alarm over C-5, the Liberals’ major projects bill.
