Class politics has always been central to the NDP and its members. This (excerpted) post from 2019 lays out the fundamental divide between Greens and the NDP ideologically, in no uncertain terms. Some might say "class relations are not useful" but to those people I'd say, try living in reality.

Calls for party unity or even mergers are frequent after these sorts of "close-call" elections, but the most incoherent of these are the mergers. After (and even during) the 2015 Federal election there were calls for an NDP-Green merger even from former MPs (who really ought to have known better.
A post from Occupy Canada which calls for strategic campaigns by the NDP and Liberal parties to essentially force a strategic vote campaign. The commenter beneath wants for a merger between the parties to keep conservatives out of power.

In case anybody wants to know why I never trust "strategic voting," and always get my information from campaigns that actually do massive riding-level polling. Each of these campaigns were running a normal campaign (non-cooperative), the Liberals gaining from national sentiment more than anything.
"Smart Voting" was predicting a Green swing in my riding, with a slight Liberal surge to upset the NDP incumbent (NB: Greens are recommended as a strategic vote, against an incumbent)The actual results of the polls, where the conservative won, out-performing the projection only slightly, but Liberals took second-place (projected third), and Greens narrowly took the last spot for real parties despite this site recommending them as "strategic."

Instagram removing a comment I made about reading bullshit company training content slowly has been the highlight of my night... took them about 7 seconds. Apparently this is "spam."
