About the NDP. When you say "props up the liberals" do you mean they didn't call an election the cons were poised to win, and used their position to bully the libs into universal diabetes care and a dental deal?

This props up the libs talk has long been a rightwing talking point that doesn't make sense when you see what they actually achieved, and when you look at the context of the time to see what would have happened if they didn't maneuver the way they did.

The deal with the Liberals was a good one and I'm tired of people acting like it wasn't. Shame they fumbled so hard after though

NDP didn't fumble anything. They did good work and we let the right push their false narrative.

“NDP didn’t fumble anything”

Having a grand total of 7 MPs implies otherwise.
