The CPC have the Prairies and possibilities in Ontario and BC.
The Liberals have the Maritimes, which is too small to make a difference, with possibilities in Ontario. The Liberals just don't have enough of a base.

Yeah, Liberal distribution isn't great, they probably need about 35% or more to actually win the election... winning 32-31-30 isn't going to cut it. Both the Conservatives or NDP on the other hand could legitimately win with about 31%, without even winning the popular vote. Hell, a situation where the NDP or CPC finish third in popular vote but win the election isn't out of the question.
