It's a little more complicated than that, but not by much. Conservative gains from the Liberals were offset by losses to the NDP, and some seats where they were spoiled by the far-right (read MA FREEDUMBS) "People's Party" who seemed to poll pretty much 5% everywhere - enough to affect close enough but not close enough to win anything. The NDP was helped by the Green Party (which is further left) cratering. It kept its two seats, but elsewhere was a non-factor.
The results from tonight are roughly the same as 2019, with each party within three seats of what they were at when Parliament dissolved, so yes, PGage is right. This was a $600 million waste of time and an election where there really no winners.
