I was actually pleasantly surprised that the attack ads and negative campaigning weren't effective. Bodes well for our politics.

I feel that the surge in CPC support was due to a dislike of Trudeau, and some of his policies. Trudeau was strong on social issues, but weak on economic issues. When the election was called the Conservative support remained largely static, but third party voters did not like PP and went to Carney to stop PP, plus Carney with his economics background looked like a good choice for economic issues.
I personally disliked that for months prior to the election, that PP kept saying that Canada is Broken. That phrase played into hands of both Quebec and Western separatists. Why stay in a broken Canada? Actually, Canada is not broken. We have a lot going for us.
