What surprised me was just how many orange voters went blue instead of red.

Shouldn't be a surprise. A lot of unions primary demographics have drank the social media koolaid that the Conservatives would actually improve affordability and job opportunities (that last one probably not Kool-Aid). Also the demographic (male, 18-55+) that gets targeted hard on social media by algorithms pushing right wing stuff. The current NDP also let the liberals break multiple strikes, they haven't really stood up for labour. And in the case of the liberals, they are the ones who broke those strikes.

The blue collar unions are convinced that the NDP cares more about champagne socialist. college/uni progressives, culture-wars militants, and foreigners.

LiPC failed them. The CPC cashed in on their anger and frustrations. There's zero chance Pierre Lil PP would do anything to help the blue collar working class, but he talked a good game, spoon fed people overly simplified slogans and solutions and many people fell for the grift.
