Apparently, some folks on the Conservative side are a tad upset at some sulphur comparison Mr. Ignatieff made about Harper; some of the usual suspects in the media too. Some folks don’t have very long memories about certain Conservative smear campaigns against present and past Liberal leaders – but hey, Harper didn’t say those [...]

 | Trackback for this entryA story in the Globe and Mail this AM from Martin Lawrence says that on the advice of Peter Donolo, Michael Ignatieff has decided to politically “tack left”. Warren Kinsella on the other hand, says Ignatieff isn’t “tacking left”, but “occupying the centre”, where all the votes are. Personally, I think both guys are [...] Tags: Liberal Party of Canada, Michael Ignatieff | Category: Canadian Politics |

| Trackback for this entryIt’s been nice to see not only the Liberals capitalize on the Conservatives proroguing of Parliament by showing up for work on the Hill, but actually doing some substantive announcements and round-tables on policy, and this is probably their biggest and best one to date – promising to implement a national childcare/daycare program, regardless [...] Tags: daycare, Liberals, Michael Ignatieff, national childcare, prorogation | Category: Canadian Politics |

| Trackback for this entryI won’t sugar-coat my views on things; the latest set of polls are not good for those of us in the Liberal camp. The latest includes today’s Ekos poll release, that has a few of us Liberal-allied blogs smarting. I’m sure the Liberal politicians and strategists are smarting even worse. I have a few [...] Tags: Ekos, Liberal Party, Michael Ignatieff, polls | Category: Canadian Politics |

| Trackback for this entryI saw this status message on Facebook from a “friend” – who I believe ironically enough is a Harper/Conservative supporter, but who was leaving this in a non-political context: “Great people talk about ideas; average people talk about things, small people talk about other people. In other words, those talking about others have nothing [...] Tags: Liberal pre-election ads, Michael Ignatieff | Category: Canadian Politics |

| Trackback for this entry.. in my admittedly Liberal-slanted POV comes from Richard Gwyn of the Star, commenting on the Obama/Ignatieff meeting, titled, Ignatieff has what it takes to be a first-tier leader: Unless all my instincts are dulled and my antennae have rusted (most certainly possible), I’m pretty sure Ignatieff is going to become our next prime [...] Tags: Michael Ignatieff | Category: American Politics, Canadian Politics |

| Trackback for this entryTrue to his word, Liberal leader Michael Ignatieff and (presumably) Bob Rae discussed Omar Khadr with the President today. Here’s part of the discussion President Obama had with Iggy over the Khadr file, as made public by the Liberal leader: The leader of the official Opposition said Obama told him that the detainees are [...] Tags: Barack Obama, Guantanamo, Michael Ignatieff, Omar Khadr | Category: American Politics, Canadian Politics |

| Trackback for this entryThat will apparently be the Conservatives – or at least the Blogging Tories – line going after Ignatieff come the next election, if this blogentry of Stephen Taylor that was highlighted over at Macleans is any indication. Apparently, Harper’s attending more hockey games then Ignatieff shows he has the appeal to the common man, [...] Tags: Blogging Tories, Michael Ignatieff, Stephen Harper | Category: Blog Culture, Canadian Politics |

| Trackback for this entrySo, Michael Ignatieff will be picked as the new Liberal leader by virtue of Bob Rae dropping out this afternoon. As I said in my last blogpost, while I’m a bit uncomfortable with what the Liberal Executive decided on last night, which more or less sealed Rae’s fate, I do congratulate Mr. Ignatieff as [...] Tags: Liberals, Michael Ignatieff | Category: Canadian Politics |
