Iran venezuela and yes canada national media answers to their masters(aminajhad, chavez and LPOC).<br />So whatever the liberals or chavez or the iranian president did and continue to do against their own nation and citizens is well coverup by their media.<br /><br />Be prepared when the liberals come back, because it is not only they that be running this country; it will be ndp bloc and all their special radical groups that have been supporting the opposition parties. They too want their piece of the pie. Oh and don't forget their medias as well.<br />So whatever Ignatieff does is not a problem as long as he is a 'liberal' and not a conservative.Jennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2850973949490261969.post-17724919038020210202010-02-26T06:13:42.255-07:002010-02-26T06:13:42.255-07:00"Canada doesn't need a PM whose only qual..."Canada doesn't need a PM whose only qualification is that he is NOT Stephen Harper.

The liberal Party bigwigs seriously miscalculated Ignatieff's saleability to the Canadian people. <br /><br />One question I've never seen answered is, who's bright idea was it to ask Ignatieff to come back and rescue the LPC?<br /><br />He has a similar background to Pierre Trudeau,rich,well educated, but the resemblance ends there. Trudeau was charismatic, and well experienced in Canadian politics, and he followed a well respected Liberal PM. <br /><br />Ignatieff stated his disdain for parochial Canada many times over the years he lived somewhere else,Canada just wasn't "big league" to Iggy.<br /><br />Since his less than triumphant return, we've witnessed a Liberal aristocrat with the education of Pierre Trudeau, and the charisma of Bob Stanfield. Ignatieff simply doesn't appeal to most of us ordinary Canadians, we can feel his condescension whenever he speaks or tries desperately to act like one of us. He looked just plain silly at the Calgary Stampede.<br /><br />Ignatieff, when trying to interact with us,is as stiff as George Wallace would have been playing to a crowd in Watts. He looks ill -at-ease among the rabble. We're NOT his people.<br /><br />Canada doesn't need a PM whose only qualification is that he is NOT Stephen Harper. We need a real leader who can relate to the plight of the average person, not a silver spoon aristocrat.<br /><br />The LPC must produce better candidates for leader if they are to ever hope to get back to the throne.<br /><br />DMorrisLynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01743207200671332210noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2850973949490261969.post-20411704999176537732010-02-25T17:41:41.175-07:002010-02-25T17:41:41.175-07:00Martha Hall Findlay, Gerard Kennedy, Hedy Fry, or ...Martha Hall Findlay, Gerard Kennedy, Hedy Fry, or Domonic LeBlanc or someone else....<br /><br />Are their debts paid yet?
