Who says they weren't an NDP supporter (or Liberal supporter) at some point? Some of his complaints are rather generic (taxes) but the dental plan retort he had stems from the Liberal-NDP coalition.
His particular retort to Trudeau bringing up the dental plan is that someone who isn't working has better dental care than he does. And he's right as he would have a dental plan through his work meaning he is not eligible for the Liberal implemented dental plan and would have to pay out of pocket for his copay.

Not a shocker to see Trudeau boasting about the Liberal implemented dental plan yet didn't even know enough about it to know that the person he is talking to would not be eligible.
Of note I didn't hear him mention Singh or NDP when boasting about the plan, did you
. Guess he didn't get the memo that the NDP created it and he's taking full credit for it. The joys of being a minor partner in a coalition.
The voters who are shifting to Conservatives are coming from somewhere and there is a clear gap of folks that current government policies are negatively impacting or omitting and who are unhappy.

Sault Ste. Marie (now Sault Ste. Marie—Algoma) was once a Liberal riding with NDP not that far behind. Conservatives are now projecting at above 50% with both the Liberals and NDP down in the low 20s. That 17% poll jump did not come out of thin air. Perhaps it's time for the Liberals and NDP to try to win blue collared workers back but they seem to be more interested in gaslighting them and fearmongering about Conservatives.
