Remains far from certain what'll happen with all the ridings the NDP is going to lose.
The Bloc has almost disbanded at this point. Half the MPs have left and are forming a new federal party. That's going to lead to even further vote splitting, unless they patch things up (and it's increasingly likely we're past that point).
The recent Chicoutimi by-election is an interesting barometer: traditionally a Bloc riding like most of the province, it was won (narrowly) by the Trudeau Liberals in 2015, then it flipped to the Conservatives in 2018. It's very possible many people here will think we've seen more than enough of JT by now, and vote for something else.
It's Scheer's election to lose. Too bad he's so bland, any good leader would easily send JT to the job of Leader of the Opposition. But instead of that, it's a toss-up, and that's Scheer's fault.
