    While I was not a huge fan of Jagmeet, I don’t think he was a bad leader. The Federal NDP had a tough go at this election as I am sure many people who would traditionally vote NDP voted to keep conservatives out of power and marked the Red Box. I certainly did.

      They were losing popularity before the elections were called though. The losses are because of the circle around the flag effect, but their unpopularity is not.

        I don’t disagree. They missed a huge opportunity to be the opposition people turned to in this instance when people didn’t want either of the big two.
