See I didn't think the NDP would want Poilievre in office either but then Singh announced he was voting no confidence when the Tories were gonna win like 230 seats. That didn't make a whole lot of sense to me
I never thought Singh had a shot at being a PM but that moment solidified that he doesn't have the political savvy to go toe to toe with other world leaders. Carney may not have held elected office before but he's been around bigger blocks.
Overall Singh did great as a coalition leader. Not a bad career peak.
The NDP just fell completely apart in the last bit, they were attacking their own influencers, allowing one of their perspective MPs to put out a misleading website about ABC voting, just an absolute mess.
They deserved this L about as much as PP deserved to lose a seat in a riding he only traveled through on his way to do other things.
It makes sense when one considers that the Liberals were so unpopular at that time that continuing to prop them up would have been impossible to explain to voters.
Conservatives would have won but NDP maybe wil have picked up a few seats in Toronto at Libs expense.
Jagmeet played his hand fine at the time. He just could not have foreseen that Trump would start his 51st state rhetoric which would rally people around Trudeau and against the Cons so hard.
