I'm not sure I share your rosy LPC predictions. There is a high desire for change in the electorate after 9.5 years of Liberal rule. Trump scared many Canadians but that fear has worn off as Trump has gone quiet the last 3 weeks. I'm not sure a LPC majority is a guarantee.
Mainstreet has a CPC+2 today, and Frank Graves from Ekos was tweeting last night (now deleted) that the race is tightening again in his data.

+2 at what? I guess we will see it added in the
polls section on 338 soon enough, but I believe it has been taken into account for
.
It will be a good thing for the Liberals if there is a bump in turnout, and people voters don't get too complacent about leads in the polls. The good thing is, most Canadians don't follow the polls like many of us in this thread do... many voters have some general idea, of course, but I think don't think most Canadians keep a daily check on the 338 projection probabilities, which will probably help voter turnout.
Party's always say "this is the most important election of our lifetimes", but I think many Canadians voter do actually view this as one of the most consequential elections in their lifetimes. I usually like to vote on election night, and think I want to keep with the tradition this year, but maybe I'll cut it a little less close this year, as I expect the lines will be even longer than the ones for us last minute Susies were in the provincial election a few months ago, which were also the longest lines for voting I've ever seen in my life for an election.
