Conservatives will hold official opposition with an increase in seats overall.... 5 seats in Atlantic Canada, 10 seats in Quebec, 45 seats in Ontario, a total sweep in AB and SASK with 45 seats, 10 seats in Manitoba, and 20 seats in BC for a grand total of 135. A good performance, but no government.
NDP will be wiped from the map. Greens may win one in BC.
Remember this post.

AB/SK is off. Though I'll concentrate on Sask.
Goodale's not losing the Regina-Wascana seat until he retires. He even held onto it through the Dion/Ignatieff years.
Regina-Lewvan is a toss-up for all 3 parties. It was a 3-way race last election with a narrow NDP victory. Now that Weir is "CCF", it'll be back to a weird 3.5ish race (he's not winning, but may steal some NDP votes).I wouldn't be surprised if a decent amount of votes jumped to the Grits as the Dippers will look weaker.
Northern Saskatchewan is also usually a 2-way NDP-Liberal race, though sometimes the conservatives take it.
Saskatoon has some potentially close calls as well depending on the candidates.
With the purely urban ridings, rather than the old Rurban pie splitting, Saskatchewan isn't nearly as solidly Conservative as it used to be, though the conservatives are guaranteed 7-8 out of 14 seats.
