The attack at a Filipino festival in Vancouver that left at least 11 dead might complicate things. Mark Carney was flying to Vancouver to show his support. It was obviously not his fault, but it happened on his watch and could damage the aura of stability he projects.

Don't think so. The attacker, of Chinese descent, had a history of mental disturbance and the police have ruled out terrorism as a motive.

That is a rational response, but that is not the way elections work. The attack is not likely to swing the election, but it might well cause a dip in support for the Liberals.

ItтАЩs also equally possible Trump saying again that Canada should be the 51st state on election day in Canada might cause a dip in support for the Conservatives.
