Yes, when voters are not satisfied with the way things have been going (especially on the jobs and taxes fronts) they tend to look for and support the change candidate.  

Although traditional Canadian voter fatigue was the largest factor in the defeat of PM Harper in 2015,  desire for change fueled in part by the slowness (albeit the least slow of the G 7) of the recovery from the 2008 Great Recession was also a strong factor in the switch to Trudeau.

The Clown Prince's campaign slogan emphasized change as in: Hope and Hard Work.

Subsequently, each member of the Trudeau cabinet has been doing the work of three men - Larry,. Curly and Moe.

And the campaign slogan is morphing into Hopeless and No Work.  

It is always impossible for change candidates for president and PM to fully live up to voters`expectations.  Obama was not able to and already it is clear to most informed Canadians that Junior will not come close to doing so.

Let us hope that Trump once again defies expectations.
