From the article "The leap to the Conservatives might be a leap too far for the NDP's remaining supporters in Quebec to make "

I find it hard to see how a disgruntled NDP supporter would jump to the Grits. That's like a rock ribbed Cuban communist becoming a 1960's Kennedy Democrat in my opinion. A bridge too far.

Socialist NDP voters would probably go for the Liberals.

That’s likely to guarantee Justin Trudeau a second term in Ottawa, if nothing else changes.

How far apart are Kennedy Dems from Castro communists, really?
“… [S]houldn’t someone tag Mr. Kennedy’s bold new imaginative program with its proper age? Under the tousled boyish haircut is still old Karl Marx — first launched a century ago. There is nothing new in the idea of a Government being Big Brother to us all. Hitler called his ‘State Socialism’, and way before him it was ‘benevolent monarchy’.”

— Reagan to Nixon, 1960
If NDP and Conservatives are at least that close, then I wonder.
