The majority will be very tough; as with last time around, there's a strong anti-majority crowd; According to a recent Ekos poll, 19% of Canadians would consider switching their vote to another party if they knew that the Conservatives were poised to win a majority. If that happens, it'll be very difficult for the Tories to win those close races, as undecideds break for the non-Tories and Liberals/NDP/Green all informally trade votes to block the CPCs.

None of the other parties have started playing the 'prevent a majority' card as with last election, but if there's any Conservative upswing over the next week.
