I just stumbled onto this left-wing rag only to read Liberals fretting about Liberal fortunes in Michael Ignatieff. In my humble opinion, he is not interesting, too scripted, too calculating, cold, and does not bring anything of subtance to the table in terms of policy. However you can discount what I have to say because I am from Vancouver and therefore out of his target market anyways. Barring any mishap, we will not see another Liberal government in a long time and I for one, rejoice in such a thought. Harper is not the tyrant you have you shamelessly tried to brand him as, the Afghan torture story has no legs (really who cares if they torture each other - its not on my conscience) and the Liberals went from bad to worse in throwing Dion under the bus and knighting Sir Ignatieff King of the land. Too bad nobody else see's it your way. But I regress, he is from Harvard and therefore naturally smart and therefore he ought to be entitled to lead Canada as a head of the natural governing party - sounds arrogant doesn't it, yes and it sounds very Liberal too. The Conservatives have the centre and the right and the NDP has the left and the Liberals are fighting for identity somewhere in between. George Bush was the Liberals best friend and now Obama is consequentially your biggest enemy, because all you tried to do was to cheaply brand Harper as being a puppet of the American President. Now that Obama is in for what will be eight years, Harper has used your own tactic against you. Check, Harper, X, Liberals. For that, Harper will govern for the next eight years. Oh let me gloat some more for these are good times for anyone who is not a Liberal.
