exactly.
and honestly, they haven't even been that good on the economic front--despite what patlal seems to believe--remember their pledge to end the deficit by 2014? remember when they had to admit that this goal was no longer feasible (hint: it never was with their economic policies--but it shore made a good election talking point)

Trudeau is going for PM. Not sure what that will do to the Liberal support here though. He's slighted the province before.

I just recall that our highly regulated banks didn't crash due to their regulations, which was a liberal policy.
I don't know much about economics though, nor do I honestly care.

In 2009 he predicted the end of deficit for 2014. It's going to be 2015. I guess he wasn't conservative enough...

Trudeau has been all talk.
I haven't heard anything about his platform other than the weed talks.

Might not be a majority, but Harper is still going to be PM. NDP isn't going anywhere and the liberal only have a sweet talker with no platform. Quebec will go NDP, the West will go conservative and Ontario will be split up.
It's going to be close.

@Shivas: Let me give you more details of how I see things.
5 battle grounds of Canada in order of size:
- Ontario - Quebec - Alb/Sask/Man - BC - North and maritime
ONTARIO:
Right now it's mostly conservative. But they like the Liberals and they are only going Conservative because the Libs don't have their shit together. I suspect that 2/5 will vote Cons, 2/5 will vote Libs, 1/5 NDP
QUEBEC:
The word Conservative is enough to justify murder. The word Liberal is associated with corruption. That leaves the NDP and it just so happens to be on the left just the way Quebecers like it. I suspect 3/5 will go NDP, 1/5 COnservative, 1/5 Liberal
ALB/SASK/MAN:
The conservative developped the oil sands in alberta and the EU free trade deal just boosted the beef, pork and farming markets which are concentrated in Sask and Man. The NDP has no influence there and the liberals have no plan and the people there aren't the type to be swayed by charisma alone. 4/5 Conservative, the rest will be split up.
BC:
Battleground. I can't say who will win there. It'll most likely split up 33% each.
NORTH AND MARITIME:
Harper has been developping the North and I figure the liberals might take the Maritimes. Maybe the NDP will get a few seats. Again 33% each
So basically, I believe it is just enough for the cons to get a majority or a strong minority.

While i agree that popular opinion doesn't really mean a whole lot when predicting election results (especially considering the fact that the conservatives won the last majority with the support of around 12% of eligable voters), I think the 2015 election is going to be a completely different animal than the last two.
The last election was a perfect storm for the liberals, with two successive leaders that the tories were able to cast in an extremely negative light, something that they haven't really been able to achieve with Trudeau.
They also had to contend with a very popular NDP leader in Layton, who drew massive support away from the liberals. He's no longer in the picture (rip Jack Layton), and Tom Mulcair..... well, that beard is just creepy.
All of the above combined with the fact that the Tories have been in power so long that some of the dirt is starting to stick to them. It should be an interesting election, for sure.
All I know is, if Harper gets another majority, I'm the fuck up outta here

Hey Patlal, have you been paying attention to Calgary's demographic shift? It's gotten much more liberal recently.
