it’s honestly hard for me to say, because they’ve allowed themselves to fade into the background in the last few months. They’ve lost something like 30-50% of their support compared to the last election. Part of that is definitely strategic voting in our rotten voting system (e.g., genuine NDP/Green supporters casting votes for Liberals to keep Conservatives from winning), but they’ve also made it really easy just to forget about them, likely losing them genuine support and failing to connect with potential supporters.

I think they’re more comfortable nagging liberals to do marginally better for the working class than fighting for real power to make bigger changes.

Maybe I’m missing discussion about the Canadian federal election, but the Libs have won again.

At least the conservatives were kept from winning, but support for the NDP (the party to the left of the libs) is way down.
