We've been talking about strategic voting and what exactly is the path to victory for the Liberals, so I did a quick perusing of 308's riding projections, which are admittedly not completely accurate and I identified about 22 seats where either the NDP or Conservatives were leading by a slim margin and the Liberals were a close enough second that if 1/4 of the CPC voters switched to the Liberals, they would then win that riding. Based on the overall seat projections, the Liberals would only need to win half of those ridings to form a minority government, but they really don't have any path to a majority government.
Regionally they breakdown like this:
Ridings where the NDP are leading, Liberals close second:
BC - 4
AB - 1
MB - 1
ON - 1
QC - 1
NB - 1
NS - 1
Total: 10
Ridings where the CPC are leading, Liberals close second:
BC - 2
AB - 1
MB - 1
ON - 7
NB - 1
