It'll be interesting to see how the TPP pans out over the next week. To be honest, I don't think it'll have much effect on the Conservatives or the Liberals, as it's a pretty wonky issue and if the Dairy Farmers already think it's a good thing then I think both of these parties will maintain their voter base because of it.
That being said, the TPP is the big Hail Mary for the NDP, where they need people to turn on it in the same way that people turned on C-51. I just don't think there is enough it to make it bad enough for people to shift back to the NDP and I don't think there is enough time (with pretty much one week left in the election) for people to punish the Liberals to support it. With the NDP banking everything on being against it I think they've officially killed their chances of a recovery.
