is Jagmeet Singh & the NDP REALLY ready for an early election?

I have been speaking to NDP members, constituents, EDA executives & 3 MPs and the majority of them don't feel ready for an election, some ridings with Liberal strongholds haven't even nominated their respective MP's, and the ridings that have are yet to see campaigns in full swing, is it normally like this or do I smell an unorganized, poorly planned and DEVESTATING defeat incoming for the NDP's if / when there is an earlier election than scheduled?
