The strategy is kind of bizarre because you have a couple of different options and none of them are really good.
Option 1:
Find some common ground with the Bloc to trigger another election in the next 6-12 months.
The problem with that is if Trump is still being Trump, voters might punish the CPC for triggering an election during a crisis.
Option 2:
Wait out the next 4 years and hope that Carney is a flop
The risk there is obvious. Carney could exceed expectations and leave voters less hungry for change. We might have a resurgent NDP by then, which could peel off some of the LPC's votes, but probably not enough to put the CPC in power.
Additionally, voters got to know PP during this cycle and they clearly don't like him. Unless he's planning to change his tactics over the next 4 years, it's hard to see how voters won't be totally sick of his act by then.
