"If," like you said. Note that Canada doesn't have a presidential system, and the popular vote doesn't determine who's in charge; the federal Liberals lost the vote three years ago and yet won five seats (not a 1:1 comparison, but the point still stands).

At last check, the NDP still have a roughly ten-point lead in the Lower Mainland where all the swing ridings are; "if" United's 10% were evenly spread across the whole province, they'd have to step on the gas, but it's not.

This development will absolutely change the race.

Your BC NDP overconfidence is misplaced.
See above.
