If the NDP pull this off, they’ll deserve a ton of credit. It’ll be the biggest expansion of public services in decades. We’re one of the only countries with universal healthcare but not pharmacare.

Agreed.

In order to be able to play a similar role in the future, I wish they played the elections differently. I wish they only ran candidates where they have a low chance of vote splitting with the LPC candidate, thus giving progressive voters a clear choice to vote NDP in those ridings without risking to give that riding to the CPC by voting NDP. This could produce a repeatable minority LPC government with NDP support, pushing a progressive agenda, like the one we have now.
