It didn't hurt them in the past because the Liberals (and NDP) were that unpopular with Canadians, but right now is a new world and it's coming back to haunt them. Just as they benefited from the Liberal's total disregard for Canadian woes, right now they are hurting by their ties to Republicans and the social far right.
Polls are the moment are going to be extremely volatile. It does appear the CPC strategy has shifted as well, but is it enough to stop the momentum shift? This is absolutely a black swan event for them (and Smith going around acting like a rogue vassal state switching allegiance sure as heck is not helping).
What is interesting to me is just how the NDP has completely disappeared everywhere including in the polls. Singh has cost his party so much.

He made a deal with the devil. People won’t forget that. It may have gotten him some leverage at the time. But it branded him with trudeau. He’s the one who kept propping him up. It’ll be hard for him to shed that.
