Right now it’s a bit of an emergency and we can’t be too picky. The priority is to keep the Conservatives away from power, or our country could go the way the USA is, our minorities and immigrants will be persecuted, our economy will suffer, and it will become impossible to achieve anything positive politically. You can’t make an alliance with the Conservatives while they are in thrall to MAGAism, and they can’t be trusted when their MAGA buddies in the USA have their sights on annexing Canada.
Also, the Conservatives snatching defeat from the jaws of victory shows that going MAGA isn’t a path to victory anymore for them.
If they have to shift left to win votes, that means that so will the Liberals to differentiate from them.
Perhaps not likely, but something to hope for.

We have a fair number of MAGA/convoy people ourselves, Cons might not be able to change without splintering.
The polls leading up to Trump + Trudeau’s resignation just show they’ll win by default eventually anyway.
We love pretending we’re a two party system
