They were all too freaking busy talking about Geurgis freaking out in an airport, or Ruby Dahla being a bitch.
The Liberals (whom I don't really care for) have been spoiling for a fight with the Conservatives (whom I don't really care for) since Ignatieff was crowned 'Prince of the Party', but have avoided every significant issue the country has faced (save for occasional soundbites), and jumped on every minor topic that has come available.
Seriously folks, these people are not interested in helping you. They're interested in appearing competent so that they keep their cushy jobs. The idea that anyone would vehemently support either of these parties is (imo) laughable. Seeing people drawing battlelines and defending either of these parties is ######ed.

I think that this is the throw of the dice for the Liberal's. Ignatief did his summer tour and got no traction whatsoever, at the same time he's being continually stabbed in the back by Bob Rae and Jean Chretien.
If Ignatief can push this to an election, he will lose right now, but it gives him the graceful exit to return to academia while at the same time flipping the middle finger to detractors in his party.
But your right, this is an issue that you don't want to use to force an election.
