But in fairness, that's totally ignoring your tireless defending of Jagmeet and the NDP strategy when they dropped a ton of votes, lost party status, and Jagmeet lost his seat? I didn't see those predictions when you were carrying their water.
Just trying to make sure your head isn't too big after smelling all of your own farts.

Appreciate you ensuring I don’t float away, but that’s not exactly how it’s been. Case in point:

The NDP don’t have the cash for an election, and sacrificed a lot in the polls to achieve some good for Canadians. But yeah, seeing if there’s some magic to conjure up in 10 months is a far better play than just giving up and handing it over to the Cons.

I mean they didn’t have 10 months, but are they still in a better position today than they would have been if they forced an election early and handed it to the Cons? Maybe. But I was right that they had sacrificed a lot in the polls, so I don’t know how much better I could have called it.
I’ve also acknowledged that Singh was not long for his position.
So what can I say, I just have great farts and “get” politics a little better than most. Don’t worry about patting me on the back, I’ve got it covered.
