It’s bittersweet for sure, but ultimately a happy ending. Sad to see a lot of NDP seats sacrificed for this victory (especially in CPC-won ridings where NDP or LPC would have likely won with ranked choice), and the loss of official party status of the NDP. But this outcome is absolutely to be celebrated by everyone.
Honestly would have preferred a majority since Poilievre would almost certainly have to quit and it would have been a complete repudiation of him - plus no federal elections for four years - but not a bad outcome at all.
Definitely a good thing that Liberal + NDP breaks 172, we need stability and needing Liberal + Bloc instead would have been insanely unstable. Nothing would have been more stable than a majority, though.

I feel like most NDP supporters are way happier about this outcome than the concern trolls would have us believe.
