I don't believe in either, but in general FSW draws are more likely to happen since IRCC wants to keep the good face of the Canadian immigration system and show they're still open to folks from overseas.
Here is my prediction, which is a worst case scenario for those already in processing but with some hope left to those who've submitted their EE profiles recently.
This fall there will be a FSW draw, it will come with ultra-fast processing, 2-3 months for the majority of applicants, and the entire effort will be largely a publicity stunt to promote economic recovery and restore the open image of Canada after 1.5 years of strict lockdown.
Then, after these 1-2, or even 3 draws, they'll announce changes to the program, and eliminate the backlog, since the pre-pandemic FSW logic and rationale will no longer apply. Then IRCC will focus on TR to PR path, or maybe will open other streams for outland people, perhaps more targeted to certain skills, like Australia, but not the "be smart, have money, speak English" FSW-O as we knew it before.

How is backlog relevant to changes in program? Backlog is removed by processing (either rejecting or finalizing) apps. I guess you're implying a mass rejection of apps. This would put the nail in IRCC's coffin in terms of its public image.

Imagine the flood of angry tweets and other social media response after getting people's hopes up by conducting 2-3 draws and processing them so fast then suddenly dropping it. IRCC would look even worse than it does now. Sorry mate none of that makes sense.

I raised a webform a few days ago, just received this response. Not sure what to make of it:

Good day,

Thank you for contacting Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada.

We verified the information you provided and can confirm that the application is still in process.

All the required documents and information have been received by the responsible office for the moment.

Due to the ongoing situation related to the novel coronavirus (COVID-19), some IRCC offices are currently operating with reduced or critical staff only.

We are working on processing applications as quickly as possible; however, processing times are affected and any disruption caused by COVID-19 is not reflected accurately on our website. We will make all the necessary efforts to finalize the application as soon as possible.

Rest assured that you will be informed as soon as a decision is reached or if additional information is needed.

I'm guessing that Trudeau's plan was to lock the country down for so long until Canada had secured many vaccines and administered them, practically ended the pandemic within the borders, so he would have had a strong hand in an early election. It would've worked but he wasn't fast enough with the vaccines so it didn't work. Now Trudeau had no chance but to open up the country and there's no turning back because that plan would've only worked the first time. In other words, Canada now has no choice but to go back to normal like the rest of the world. This is good news for outlanders, who had been the majority of immigrants before the pandemic.
