The one thing I wonder is if there's another few polls showing the CPC close to a majority or winning big, if we see a collapse in either NDP or Liberal support by people thinking ABC simply going with the least worst, winning option.

Exactly. Also important to note that a CPC surge in Quebec will result in absolutely no more seats while definitely affecting National numbers.
As a result, if we see a backlash like you suggest might happen, the surge (if one exists) in support for the CPC may have come a couple weeks too soon for their liking.
