WI: Liberals Lose the 1972 Canadian General Election

The 1972 Canadian general election was extremely close, with Trudeau's Liberals winning a plurality of only 2 seats over the Tories. Trudeau went on to form a minority government with support from the New Democrats. What if the result had been switched, with the Tories winning a 2 seat plurality over the Liberals? Could Trudeau have remained in power via a coalition? If not, what might be the result of a Tory Government lead by Robert Stanfield?
