Trudeau's team deserves a lot of credit as well. They ran a pretty positive campaign and I think Canadians responded to that. I think he was also able to coax more young people to vote. It will be interesting to see the voter turnout numbers when they are out.
But yeah, Harper drove his ship into the rocks. He has been governing like crap for a while now and then his whole campaign was an embarrassment. When the election was called, it was still within his reach to win.
