Again, I invite you to check the wiki page.

Murray lost by 734 votes. That seat was certainly considered "safe" by the Liberals, and I guarantee that he would have won had Adscam not happened.
In the previous elections when John Harvard held the seat for the Liberals, the PC/Alliance combined vote total always exceeded the Liberal total by a fair margin. The fact that Murray only lost by 734 means he stole away a lot of previous conservative votes, and again, would have won had the Liberal popular vote not fell.
