I do think that the Liberals will vote against the throne speech...I just think that they will not have enough MP's present to cause the government to fall.

I understand the canadian electoral system but there is no way that the additional 5 % could come fro Calgary. The city is already a strong conservative area and the population is not large enough to sway a national poll by 5%.
Based on past experiences 40 % in the polls will get you a majority in governemnt. It is not perfect but the assumption can be made.
