While I was not a huge fan of Jagmeet, I don't think he was a bad leader. The Federal NDP had a tough go at this election as I am sure many people who would traditionally vote NDP voted to keep conservatives out of power and marked the Red Box. I certainly did.

I voted NDP, for premiere, and MP. My riding voted for conservative for both.

It's really unfortunate that the largest party chooses PM instead of being able to just form a coalition of small parties, if I understand it correctly? Also super unfortunate that the PM then recommends Senators with lifetime appointments up to age 75.

It's actually kind of miraculous that Canada has been so much more progressive than the USA with that kind of system.

They were losing popularity before the elections were called though. The losses are because of the circle around the flag effect, but their unpopularity is not.
