To me, the Liberal surge is largely the result of errors make by the Conservatives.

I agree fully. Trudeau is not a great candidate by any stretch. Despite being a liberal supporter, I dislike him thoroughly and think he's not nearly intelligent enough to be a great long term leader. However, he has done a decent enough job to be able to show that he's competent enough to do the job and that he's a fresh face and has youthful energy, instead of being a fuddy duddy like Harper or strange like Mulclair.
The Conservatives' stick has gotten old and stale. Every time this happens, regardless of party is that they get turfed, struggle for a while and sort out their stuff before coming back a different group with a new message (unless you're republicans in the USA, who grind the same crap through the meat grinder without any attempt at even sugar coating it)
