Any negative effects of Trudeau's leftist comments/actions will only be as damaging as Scheer can make them. Given how he's performed so far, it's somewhere between "not at all" and "it actually makes Scheer look incompetent".

I agree. I find Trudeau's sunshine-and-rainbows messaging to be annoying too, but it's really not the sort of thing I see costing them an election, at least not their first since coming to power.
I'm a big believer in incumbency. Devil you know, all that. Trudeau's "scandals" have been minor, and I certainly haven't felt any negative impacts of their government.
I predict another Liberal majority, although losing a number of seats to the Conservatives. I see the NDP falling off a cliff, and I see the Greens picking up another seat or two.
The Liberals' brand will take a hit again, but not this soon. It's a lot easier to criticize a government in power than one out of it. Once the campaign period starts and the Liberals start to make voters actually think about what a Conservative government would mean, I think all the noise will quiet down. And I'm not saying that from a Conservatives-are-evil standpoint, just that change is scary. The Liberals really haven't rocked the boat that hard - "peoplekind" is not a divisive election issue.
