Thinking that NDP voters want a CPC government is a fucking conservative fantasy.
Let’s bear in mind that Trudeau handed this win to the CPC by repeatedly failing to pass any kind of voting reform - the CPC will never be able to win a majority vote among Canadians.
Strategically it doesn’t make sense. It’s better for him to run and lose intentionally, then step down after the loss.
That allows the people to get their hate out, and resets the playing field for the next election cycle when people realize the Conservatives haven’t done shit all to make life more affordable.
The core problems Trudeau is being blamed for aren’t really his fault. They’re global trends happening everywhere, including places with conservative governments.

Traditionally this hasn’t been how Canadian politics has played out. We tend to have long running federal governments over single term governments except in cases of extremely disastrous political results (ie. forcing an early election by a vote of non-confidence, etc…)
Canadian voters seem to be very very patient. It won’t matter how shitty PP and the Cons are as a government, voters will keep on electing them in for a decade or more before finally having enough. Same as we did with the Liberals, and same as we did with Harper before that.
I mean when you have NDP voters who would rather have a Con win than the liberals…
Maybe they’re NDP voters who hate what’s happening to this country under the Liberals and possess the conviction to vote for what they actually believe in.

I’m not sure that’s going to hold true with so many people being effectively inflated into poverty.
It’s going to get worse, a lot worse.
