I don't think they can realistically prevent a CPC majority.
Essentially, I think that no matter how good a campaign they run - and I am skeptical it'll be good with either Carney or ESPECIALLY Freeland at the helm - that they're going to be able to close the gap substantially. Like Kamala's campaign down south, it's doomed from the start just due to sharing a party with the incumbent.

Freeland has given the public and the CPC more than enough rope.
Carney's position as a very public figure, often saying very stupid things, is giving a ton of ammunition for the inevitable, and endless CPC attack ads.
