The federal NDP’s confidence-and-supply deal with the Liberals was always a dubious venture — propping up an exceptionally unpopular government for any length of time, let alone for over three years, typically doesn’t endear voters to one’s side.
While Jagmeet Singh’s NDP should be merrily capitalizing on the current economic environment with their eyes closed, the party is instead bleeding support from key demographics to Pierre Poilievre’s Conservatives. Even a Liberal slump of epic proportions, particularly among younger voters, hasn’t been enough to breathe life into a party that increasingly resembles a paper straw disintegrating into a useless, soggy mess.
