I dunno Cheese, I haven't seen any province by province or riding by riding breakdowns of hte polls but it seems to me that 39% of the vote across the country is likely enough to win a majority. in 2000 the liberals won a majority (172 of 301 seats) with only 40.8% of the vote, granted the right votes were split between PC and Canadian Alliance but you never know. And they won 135 seats (just 19 short of a majority) in 2004 with only 36.7 % of the vote. A few more points and it could very well be a Conservative majority, albeit a small one.
