The NDPs best chance moving forward is the liberals actually continue to move more central on economic policies and drive the left wing liberal voters to them over the next few years .

The PCs could have provided the same extortion option.
In the financial crisis when Harper purogued parliament that’s effectively what the liberals did. They rejected the fiscal update and supported the budget with their proposed changes when the house reconvened.
This is the way a minority parliament is supposed to work. Each party provides support to hold up government in exchange for their priorities. The conservative approach of always trying to unseat the government results in not passing any policy.
I think the concept of shadow governing and forcing the liberals to reject ideas would have been far better for Canada. The risk of the #### Trudeau campaign was that he resigned.
