Next week, Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau and the Liberal caucus will be in Edmonton for their summer meeting, as the party prepares its strategy for the 2015 election.

And though the election is more than a year away, Trudeau and his party are trying to ride the momentum of recent polling numbers that show the Liberals have 38 per cent support, compared to 25 per cent for the Conservatives and 23 per cent for the NDP.

Many labelled the 42-year-old Trudeau as inexperienced after he became the party leader 15 months ago.

The Conservatives have tried to focus their attacks on Trudeau’s position regarding the legalization of marijuana, which he announced last year.

“My position (is) trying to make sure that were doing a better job of protecting our young people from marijuana by controlling it and regulating it, because the current approach isn't working,” he told reporters Saturday in Montreal, where he was taking in Pride Week festivities.

Political scientist Bruce Hicks says Conservative efforts to define Trudeau have failed largely because many Canadians watched him grow up.

“All the conservative attack ads are falling on deaf ears because people just shrug and say that's not the guy we know,” Hicks explained.

Hicks says even though Trudeau's polling numbers are strong...it might not be in the right ridings.

“This election will be won in Suburban Toronto, and in Alberta and British Columbia, which are areas the Conservatives do fairly well in,” he said.

Last election, Quebec was swept up in the so-called “orange wave,” and helped make the NDP the main opposition.

But whether that orange wave will sweep the province twice remains to be seen. Trudeau is trying to turn the tide and bring that home-province support his way.

“Quebecers have been for too long sitting on the sidelines, in terms of the federal government. We need to make sure Quebecers have a strong voice,” he said.

Trudeau also addressed the overnight break-in at this home in Ottawa Saturday afternoon.

His wife, Sophie Gregoire, and children were asleep in the house at the time. Trudeau was working in Winnipeg.

"My family is actually coming to join me in Montreal because they don't want to stay in the house tonight," Trudeau said.

"Everybody's safe but the idea of someone in the house while my family is sleeping and I'm away working is very distressing, to say the least," he said.
