Canadian Federal Election Odds: Favorite Conservatives Lose Ground

There's no date yet for the next Canadian Federal election, but that doesn't stop the Canadian Federal Election odds markets from taking shape.
Several sites offer odds on the 45th Canadian Federal election, including the winning party, when the election will be held, and who will form the official opposition.
Governor General Mary Simon has prorogued parliament until March 24 following Justin Trudeau's announcement of his intent to resign. Markets for the next permanent leader of the Liberals also cropped up following that announcement.

Which party is the 45th Canadian Federal Election betting odds favorite?
Conservative (CPC) (-450)
The Conservative Party of Canada is the overwhelming front-runner to form the next government at our political betting sites in Canada.
While the CPC hasn't won a federal election since the Trudeau-led Liberals took over in 2015, it formed two minority governments (2006 and 2008) and a majority government (2011) in the not-too-distant past.
Polling shows the Liberals gaining ground on the Conservatives, but the CPC still carries a healthy 85.71% implied win probability to form the next government.
The last time the Liberals or CPC (or one of the historical predecessors of the two parties) wasn't leading the country was before the 1921 election. Even the party that ruled from 1917 to 1921 primarily consisted of MPs who had previously served under the Conservative banner.
Best odds: -450 via bet365 | Implied win probability: 81.82%
