Liberal huddle for 1st big policy convention without Trudeau
Delegates will debate 24 policy resolutions as Carney seeks a narrow majority after a fifth floor crossing boosted the Liberals to 171 seats.
- On Thursday, about 4,000 members of the Liberal Party gathered in Montreal for a three-day national convention led by Prime Minister Mark Carney as the party seeks a majority government.
- The Liberals enter the convention riding high in polls with 45 per cent support nationally; momentum grew this week after a fifth opposition MP crossed the floor, placing the party on the cusp of a 173-seat majority.
- Delegates will debate 24 policy proposals, notably recommending a minimum age of 16 for social media and AI chatbots to reduce psychological distress and cyberbullying among youth.
- Three byelections set for Monday, April 13, dominate the convention agenda as the Liberals, holding 170 seats out of 343 in the House of Commons, need to win just one race to secure a narrow majority.
- Challenges remain as the party becomes more diverse, with consultant Jonathan Kalles noting that managing MPs from "widely different political persuasions" will be difficult as Carney solidifies his leadership following former Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.
