Nobody cares about minor transgressions.
Ultimately, I think the status quo will emerge, yet again. The polls still favour a Conservative minority, and the boogeyman spectre will likely cap Harper there. Ignatieff is not a guy anyone really sees as leadership material anymore, and he has given the Tories a ton of material to go after him over, including forcing this bloody election.
It will be interesting to see the Liberal counter ads.
The Quebec Arena issue would be an interesting gambit for either side. If the Tories play up the cost of Ignatieff's promises, it will probably bolster them in the rest of Canada, but possibly hurt them in Quebec. Likewise, if the Liberals use that to try and buy votes in Quebec, the Tories could attack them over it, costing the Liberals votes in the ROC.
