I've chatted with a few NDP MLAs and staffers on this, and they were truly and honestly stressed about how often they had late night procedural wrangling and votes where the government could have been defeated The problem is, I'm not sure anyone outside of NDP family members cares in the slightest

NDP Leader David Eby says the number one question he’s getting on the campaign trail is, “Why are we having an election?” His response:

If this is accurate (and it probably is), why not simply let the Conservatives be the one to take down the government? You still get the snap election, but now the ire of the public is on the Conservatives who took advantage of NDP MLAs getting cancer treatments to bring the govt down

There were also internal tensions - Eby initially stated he would make the DRIPA suspension bill a confidence vote but backed down after MLA Joan Phillip and others in caucus made clear they were not having it. Greene from cabinet didn't run again and flat out blamed the NDP's Tilbury LNG project
