If there's anyone other than U.S. President Donald Trump who can take credit for helping the Liberals try to hang onto power, it's NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh.

They consider whether Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre's performance moved the needle enough to overtake this new Liberal-NDP alliance in the federal election, and the difference voter turnout will make.
