Where's Ignatieff?

[Mr.Canada]

I find it hilarious that the man says that Canadians want him to get back to work. All that to do about Parlaiment being prorogued is so bad etc then the second week of Parlaiment resuming he is no where to be found. He hasn't been in all week? It's very hypocritical and underhanded of him. Then halfway through the week Bob Rae disappears too.

So all their bluster about prorognation was a lot to do about nothing as they themselves aren't in the house and in Ignatieff's case, who's had the biggest mouth throughout all of this has been gone all week.

Curiosity gotta? Well, Iggy is travelling across Canada meeting with the average Canadians and talking directing to them, instead of doing YouTube.

Big deal. Its not like there is any chance of an election anytime some, unless Harper pulls the trigger. Iggy does what Iggy wants, just like Steve does. These guys are at the top of the political food chain people, but they are not rock stars. This isn't US politics and this isn't the USA.

So he bitches and moans about Parlaiment being prorogued then doesn't show up the second week in. Doesn't give him much credibility on the issue does it?

All the whiining the Liberals do about being in the house etc then their leader is AWOL...lol.

And what, Harper attends Parliament every single day it's in session.

Don't you have something more worthwhile to complain about than this? I bet there's some homosexual revealing his naughty bits somewhere in public. Perhaps you'd better grab the camera and take a look...

[capricorn]

To be fair, at least Ignatieff was in the House to make sure his Liberals didn't cause the fall of the government over the budget. Bad budget by a bad government they said, but not bad enough I guess.

From the moment Harper Prorogues Ignatieff is on TV whining about it for weeks on end then two weeks into thew new session he takes a week off? Lol, hypocrite. Then the NDP, er no, Liberal Bob Rae goes missing as well for a few days.

Having trouble keeping leadership in the house it looks like. To his credit I thought that McCallum sounded more like a leader then either of them ever do. I could actually imagine McCallum being the PM, he looks the part.

He's obviously a centre-right type. I don't know what he's doing with the Liberals, he'd look good on our side.

He's thinking about his Thinker's Conference, I think.

Sounds about right. We all know that he is a horrible public speaker and that voters don't trust him. It has to be my guess that he's hiding from the public eye. Maybe he's interviewing for Harvard. I hope not, if he left the Liberals might choose a real leader who pose a threat to the Tories.

How can he hide from the public eye when he's out in the public eye, that's statement doesn't make sense. Then again....

He needs new PR people then cause he's been practically invisible.

I can only imagine that conservatives' distaste for Igatieff is based soley on partisanship, not on principle; because Ignatieff is a right-wing Canadian dream. He's the ONLY party leader who has explicitly and openly argued FOR torture and FOR global rule by the American Empire.

...the conservative attack ads suggesting he's merely an interloper is pure Reform style sleaze.

Not true.

Oh! Trust me, I would never even hint that the Conservatives are a party of principle, much less basic decency.

Not true.

It is true, unfortunately. He wrote a book on "Empire lite," a fantasy-tract in which a benevolent and always well-intentioned America rules the earth through loving force. And yes, he defended torture, though he has wisely backed off from that moral relativism since.

If it becomes a matter of thousands of people dying or to possibly stop it by using harsh methods on one person. Sorry but I vote to save the many and get the information one way or another. I know most of you would rather the people perished.

I shouldn't complain if they level Toronto, that would be many socialists out of the way. The whole country would swing to the right instantly if Toronto was bombed, I never thought of this.

It would be much harder for the socialists to keep telling us we should go hug a terrorist today, everything will be ok.

Aside from that. Ignatieff is a hypocrit. The guy whines, cries and moans about Parlaiment not being open then flees Ottawa after only a week back. Then his number 2 Bob Rae goes AWOL shortly after...lol. Typical socialist behavior.

You clearly never read his book or any of his writings. I've got the book in question. His argument is essentially thus: if democracies even want to think about going down the road of something like torture, democracies must do it in an honest and transparent discussion weighing the benefits and harm in terms of security and the sacrafice of civil liberties with the voting public.

He's also vehemently denounced torture and warcrimes in his other works. Though I can't remember one, it was an article written as a debate between two viewpoints re: the intervention in Kosovo.

pretty much sums it up.
