In just a few hours, the government will decide the fate of Prime Minister Mark Carney and the Liberals.

The minority government needs some opposition support to pass their proposed federal budget—and to avoid another federal election.

Recently a Conservative MP resigned his seat and another joined the Liberals.

That means they only need two opposition members to abstain or vote in favour.

Green leader Elizabeth May will vote yes to avoid an election, according to reports. However, it is unclear what the NDP will do.

If the budget does not pass, it will likely send us back to the polls.

The vote happens this evening.
