* BittersweetEnding: The NDP makes it to 2nd place among Canadian federal political parties in 2011, making former "stuck in 3rd place" party leader Jack Layton the Opposition Leader, but not the Prime Minister. He dies a few months later. This is all accurate to real life, and all shown in the movie.
