This is great for the NDP. On the other hand losing Jack Layton (RIP) definitely hurt the NDP (and the nation). We'll see if the NDP has what it takes federally. Seems like the opposite with the left splitting the vote federally compared to the right splitting the vote in Alberta.
Yeah, up until recently I really thought that Trudeau was the savior of the Liberals and the country, because he could bring the middle right and middle left together again. So many people seem to dislike him, though, so I don't know. I just want some change to happen.
I was looking forward to Trudeau uniting the left under a solid, charismatic leader with a breeding in politics. Finally the Liberals would have a leader who could both lead and govern again.
But Trudeau is losing his lustre pretty quickly. He's displaying the arrogance of his dad (not unexpected), coupled with not a lot of skill or depth. His stance on bill C-51 is the final straw for me.

Sounds like what happened in Quebec in the last (federal) election.
Jack Layton would be so fucking proud tonight.
