Singh had many reasonable opportunities to do this over the last few years, but finally pulls the rip cord when the Conservatives are polling way ahead? What the fuck? He’s such a useless piece of shit, why do the NDP keep him around

It’s because of the rail labour dispute. The NDP can’t/won’t be party to cutting down unions.

Doing it when the Liberals are in really bad shape improves the odds of the NDP winning, up from 0.0 to 0+ε.

Yeah, I thought selecting him for leader was bad years ago, but it’s obvious now that he can’t really do much of anything. Guess we’d better prep for 4 years of conservative austerity since our electoral system is broken.

We will be lucky to get away with 4 years. A generation of young men is being swayed conservative in the smoke pits of the internet and I’m worried we’ll suffer a lost decade of governance by bumper sticker weirdos.

It kinda looks like PP goaded him into it with the timing.

I think it’s less of “goaded him into it” and more of “predicted it”. As others have pointed out, messing with unions is a red-line for the NDP.

To paraphrase Terry Pratchett, once you think the problem is that you have the wrong kind of people, you shouldn’t be a leader
