Jagmeet Singh has been yapping/warning about it for the last week. I guess he's been spending too much time looking at right wing sources?

NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh said Tuesday that voters who want to prevent a Liberal "super majority" should support New Democrats.
"British Columbians … I'm going to specifically talk to you right now. Here in B.C., you have an incredibly important role to play in this election," he said. "You can make the difference between Mark Carney getting a super majority or sending enough New Democrats to Ottawa so we can fight to defend the things you care about."
