Doesn't make much sense to attack the NDP. Outside of some Quebec seats chasing people from the NDP just sends them to the Liberals which hurts them. It is the centre, centre-right voter they are competing for when they attack Trudeau.

It's the same reason Mulcair goes after Trudeau for T centre-left voters.
