Michael Ignatieff

Alright, so I'm not sure how many of my readers are Canadian, but I'd really like to have a mini-rant on Liberal party leader Michael Ignatieff.
Basically, I think that he should be promptly escorted out of my country, as he doesn't belong here.
He spent 5 years in the USA, while teaching at Harvard. Personally I think he should have stayed there, rather than coming back to Canada solely to try and become Prime Minister, which quite frankly I'd rather see Bloc Quebecois leader Gilles Duceppe take power, that's right, I'd rather have the leader of a separatist party run my country than Michael Ignatieff.
He claims to be a good Canadian, and puts on a charade of wanting "the best" for Canada. If the Liberals come to power, he wants to spend 8 billion right away, and rise taxes in order to foot the bill for these expenditures. This would very effectively destroy our economy and all of the progress that the Right Honourable Stephen Harper has worked so hard to help happen.
I don't believe that calling the flag which I will someday fight for a "cheap beer commercial" is any way for a potential leader to act. It is quite disgusting in my opinion.
Agree or disagree, but thanks for listening.

  1. Interesting, are liberal and conservative attitudes different in Canada than America? I like to learn about politics in other countries. I tried keeping up on English politics but I guess its hard for me to keep track of two countries at once lol. But I have noticed that the "liberal" and "conservative" mindset varies from place-to-place.

  2. To be honest with you I'm not sure how Canadian politics relate to American. I would assume they are fairly similar, but I feel it would be ignorant of me to assume something that is so important to how a country is run, if you get what I'm saying.
