If the latest poll were to translate into votes in an election, the PCs would be looking at huge gains in Ontario and BC, and you can pretty much guarantee that lonely Dipper in Edmonton gets the boot too. They are still polling almost even in Quebec, though I'd expect they would lose seats there. It wouldn't be a crushing majority, but those polls would probably translate into about 165-180 seats. A very safe majority.
As far as voter turnout goes, I wouldn't bet on record numbers, but if an election were held today, I would expect significantly higher turnout. This mess has everyone thinking about politics again, and people will want to have their say.
