This is all well and good, but the NDP is projected to win like 6 seats in this election.
Which is why political agitation reminding people that it doesn't have to be that way is a useful thing to be doing doing an electoral campaign.
I just think this would be more relevant if the NDP were doing 2015 numbers. In this election there isn't that much excitement around them and there’s probably not a whole ton of people torn between the NDP and voting strategically.

2015? Try 2011.
2011 was a special case with how godawful the Liberals were and how uniquely charismatic Jack Layton was. 2015 they were still polling over 20%, which could hold the balance of power and make this worth talking about.
Mostly it was a special case of Quebec thinking they would go along with the ROC, and waking up the next morning to realize it was all a fever dream and that the ROC, as usual, wasn't on the same page.
