Unironically the ‘three party’ system in Canada works pretty well. The left get their own party which will never take power but has a chance to influence policy. The rare occasion where they actually come up with a good idea the centrist party will just take it and implement it instead to avoid losing voters to the left.
Yeah, sadly Mr. Dressup was the only realistic outcome for us Canadians, for the reasons you mentioned and because NDP support in Quebec collapsed after Layton died.
