The important policy accomplishments of the NDP while he was leader will hopefully last for generations. For comparison, what policy accomplishments have the official opposition had in the last ten years, and what accomplishments will they have under a Carney government? The CPC has more than 10× the number of seats the NDP does now, but as a party they have had a lost decade in terms of policy impact whereas the NDP has scored big wins. The NDP will hopefully have a comeback next election. I would guess they will. permalink fedilink source parent
