AT THIS POINT, I hear no difference between Mr. Harper and Mr. Ignatieff and I hear a lot of similarities in the "me too" of silence and inaction. The future will unfold and we will find out if Mr. Ignatieff is another wolf in sheep's clothing representing a clique who staged his throning OR is the leader who will put into effect the hopes and decisions of a delegate and members like yourself. Will Mr. Chretien's barn burning speech tied to concrete commitments for ALL Canadians become the Liberal party OR a wooly sweatered, pigeon pooping vote buyer.<br />I believe the party membership will push for the concretes of Mr. Chretien's speech. I watched Mr. Dion closely through that evening and had tears for a party that divided to destroy a true visionary and PRACTICAL visionary whose concerns were tightly tied to Canadians in every walk of life in his three pronged policy platform. Where is Mr. Ignatieff in that, as he seeks to be our Prime Minister ??? Only an election and use of power will create hope or continue to smash dreams.twainseushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13057059671014574643noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1892827037183316611.post-11181925359684676932009-05-02T12:27:00.000-04:002009-05-02T12:27:00.000-04:00my apologies ti-guy, by all means vote for the alm...<I>my apologies ti-guy, by all means vote for the almost as shitty leader of your choice. and don't let critical thinking get in the way of sweet victory</I>.<br /><br />I don't vote for "a leader."

Michael Ignatieff has already done a remarkable job of bringing the party together and supporting essential reforms, and I am confident that he will lead our party to victory in the next election. "<br /><br />if there is any justice in the universe, both ignatieff the torture apologist, ex-patriot, resume burnishing creep and steve harper the fundie mole will both lose the next election. iggy might have brought the "party" together but he has more than alienated a large swath of the population who are progressive and non-partisan. i will campaign against both of the bad choices of leader presented by the two major parties. i feel sorry for liberals of good conscience that their party's dismal prospects and tarnished record have led them into the clutches of an opportunistic egomaniac like ignatieff.Lindsay Stewarthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13461043718147845594noreply@blogger.com
