2011 was an odd election and I don't think it'll be repeated.
You had the Bloc collapse. That was by far their worst election since becoming a party.
The Liberal collapse under their least popular leader since Confederation. Ignatieff was very unpopular in the common electorate.
Harper being at his most popular. Canada successfully weathered the Great Recession. Oil and potash were booming.
Jack Layton had the perfect storm. I also think him having a cane on the campaign trail played really really well. He looked like a caring, well spoked, and intelligent grandfather.
