Part of his poll lead is based on the results of the Alberta election and is, therefore, soft. He needs to be out there with the same attitude he had in the House when he was devastating taking on Harper over Duffy and the Senate, imo.

He must not be too cautious, imo, as he will be seen as too scripted, too willing to play Harper's game instead of taking the lead.
