I am totally okay with a Liberal party that marginalizes the CPC’s extreme voters by moving right and appealing to their more moderate voters, thereby also alienating people who are more on the left inside the Liberal tent so that the NDP has more potential for resurgence. Seems like the kind of thing that might be good for a multi-party system.
The liberals under Trudeau were stealing the NDP’s lunch pretty consistently. Why would you vote for the NDP when they are not offering much different compared to the liberals.
Under Carney there liberals have definitely shifted right. That’s fine in some respects and a problem in others. Carney would have been perfectly at home as a conservative leader prior to the entire party hitching their cart to the SoCon wagon.
There is a large section of the electorate that don’t mind the conservative policies if they could divorce them from the SoCon bullshit.
Anyway, the NDP might seem more of a viable choice given the above changes. They definitely need new leadership though as the current crop is pretty stale.

Only works if the NDP are smart enough to not also lean right
