Manage episode 516822066 series 2434991
Multiple sources tell CBC News that the risk of triggering another election has the Conservative and NDP caucuses grappling with whether to vote against the Liberal budget, as it remains unclear where the Liberals will secure the three votes they need. NDP MP Heather McPherson and Conservative House leader Andrew Scheer weigh in on how unlikely it is that their caucuses will lend the Liberals their support, and provide no assurance that an election will be avoided. Plus, Alberta Federation of Labour president Gil McGowan says unions in the province are organizing toward a general strike in response to the UCP government's use of the Charter's notwithstanding clause to force teachers back to work.
