I think it's also understated how much influence the NDP got into cabinet. Guillbeault and even Wilkinson were both fringe players that were too radical for cabinet prior to the deal. Though liberals in name, their much closer to NDP policy alignment. Even if you think JT agrees with them 100%, the alliance with NDP gave him enough internal cover to name these people to cabinet. That's a pretty big deal for NDP aligned policy goals imo.
