The closest we've had to this sort of combining forces is when the Liberals were in a minority government and the NDP had enough seats to give them the balance of power (i.e. enough seats to have a majority). It was that sort of situation that brought about Universal Health Care in Canada.
I don't see the New Democratic Party merging with the Liberal Party any time soon. The Liberals, even as centrists, have too many members that lean to the right.
