Today is election day in Canada. A new federal government will be chosen, but none of the party leaders fought the election he expected.

Jagmeet Singh of the NDP, who for months seemed the main opposition to a looming Conservative majority, is now facing a wipeout in

seat count, even his own. He achieved some policy goals through his deal to prop up the Liberal government of Justin Trudeau through a third term that saw the collapse of its popular support, but he failed to turn that into votes for his own party. With his own seat in jeopardy, it looks grim for Singh’s own future as leader, though not perhaps for his legacy.
