The Sun (I know) theorizes (as only the Sun can) on why:

But in short, the NDP are stuck because a significant majority of their base opposes the deal as well. The Conservatives can easily play hard to their base, and the Liberals have to defend their own actions. From the NDP's social position, it becomes a no-win scenario for them to even try to get involved.

Incidentally, it would also be such a Sun thing for them to begin using the epithet "SJW" without irony.
