This should be the NDP's golden chance. Yes, their deal with the Libs helped get some stuff passed that normally the Libs wouldn't care about, but the tradeoff was the hit to their reputation among other videos, and Jagmeet ended up viewed as a hand-in-hand to Trudeau's ills.
Perhaps it was inevitable but he certainly didn't help himself or his party by constantly threatening to bring down the government and never doing it.
Time will tell how this will affect the NDP going forward.
