Don't you think it's important that a Prime Minister prefer to live in our country over others?
I'm shocked that the best the Greens can do are an American and that the Liberals can only find leaders from France and/or elsewhere.
It's a PR problem more than anything, though it's not nearly as bad as it would be down south.
Has anyone ever been elected leader of a country that he has lived in for less than 10% of his adult life?
I don't mind Ignatieff, at least what he stands for, but how "in touch" can a guy like this be?
I can't imagine this will play very well in an election.
I caught some comments by Ignatieff on CPAC where he seemed to be on the defensive about comments made by a Liberal caucus member who apparently characterized the Liberal caucus as in conflict. However, I could not catch the name of the MP or the specifics.
Anyone?
130,000+ signatures on the anti-coalition petition with dozens being added by the second. How is that petition gaining so much traction? That's impressive. By far the most active on petitiononline.com as far as I can tell (it hasn't been updated since December 1st, but the most active at that point has only 40,000 or so signatures).
On the pro-coalition petition, there are less than 20,000 signatures.
