If anything, Canadian may elect the Conservatives because of the LACK of financial crisis.
The census issue may die too soon for the Liberals. They will introduce their legislation and it will be back in the news again soon, but they can't drag it into the fall since the census unit needs to start putting in their final changes soon. They were under tight deadlines before this issue came up, so now it's even more difficult. Trying to drag this into October would be pointless since STC would likely be unable to accomodate any further changes by that time. But the reverberations may last longer... there is a lack of trust issue that is growing. As I mentioned earlier in this thread, the issue may die, but the characteristics shown by the handling of this issue may stick like mud.

I agree with what you are saying but because we are not hit as hard as others I would see a fear to change.
I also think that the vast majority of Canadians would not vote on who made the law but rather who is in charge now and how is it going.
