NDP supporter here ... but I've always enjoyed Chretien as a solid leader with a goofy side. It's amazing for me because I'm indigenous and Chretien was the leading edge of wanting to remove native rights in the 70s as minister of indian affairs ... but I still love the guy because he good at heart and I looked up to him in the 90s as prime minister. Lots of respect for him for leading Canada.

Saying all that though ... I'm still an NDPer

The increased Liberal momentum has boosted the NDP's chance to win my riding substantially so I'm definitely grateful for that.

Carney seems like he's open to electoral reform so hopefully this is the last FPTP election.

So was Trudeau. I hope you're right, but it feels like a longshot.

Carney said big changes. If he wins the general election it’s definitely a mandate for big changes.

Only if it's a majority government.
Carney isn't going to go for MMP the same way the NDP isn't going to go for ranked ballot.

It will be interesting for sure to see what kind of government emerges from the next general election. Could even be in 6 weeks from now.
