Chrystia Freeland has resigned as finance minister amid bitter feud with Trudeau, setting the stage for an intra-party war as Trump tariffs loom on the horizon.
Right now there’s a higher chance of the Bloc Québécois forming the official opposition than the NDP, which hasn’t happened since 1993. Once polls incorporate Freeland’s departure into the Liberal numbers, I’m pretty sure the Bloc will be forecast to win more seats than the Liberals.
Unfortunately I don’t think the NDP has a shot of forming any significant portion of our next government. They 100% need to dump Singh and get their platform message out better. There actually aren’t very many tossup LPC/NDP seats, just 4/16. So it’s unlikely to me that we’ll get an NDP swing from LPC votes.
BC swings conservative because they wanted to kick Trudeau out. Which gives some idea of the relative intelligence of the voters. Think you should at least need to pass a test to vote.
Oh, I’m definately not expecting NDP to win the next election. My though it more that if the Liberal party keeps imploding at the rate it is right now, it might be possible that NDP might be able to breifly take power once people are tired of CPC rule and the pendulum swings back. I don’t expect they’ll stay in power long (or at least not with any integrity) but at that point, it’d be in their best interest to pass electoral reform to avoid splitting votes with the Liberals.
I know its a long shot, and its unlikely they’d implement anything better than instant runoff / ranked choice, but at this point, thats the only hope for better goverment that seems at all feasible.

Effectively what the forecasts are saying:
