Right now the Liberals are crushing it but they're traditionally very strong on the East Coast so things will get more interesting as results starts to move west. Right now, it's like having the early results from Massachusetts and Connecticut in US presidential elections showing the Democrats way ahead. Not terribly shocking.

The 2011 map (when the Conservatives tragically won) for reference:
