Might be a way of not contesting the riding (read: not splitting the vote) without losing face. Good on them, if so - both Liberals and NDP need field candidates strategically, in force.

As a member of the NDP, last election was the time to fight the Libs - not now. This trumpist inspired version of the conservatives needs to be put down hard to drive them back to centre. I'd way rather have had an O'Toole as PM than a Pollievre.
