waldo Posted March 7, 2011 Report Posted March 7, 2011 Igantieff - "If you ask what I want for Canada, it is that we astonish ourselves".so... jbg, the self-styled, self-described, "Wannabee NDP Voter", presumes to challenge a supposed statement made by Michael Ignatieff... by showcasing a 'twink-fest' with all that is Harper. Since you've chosen to bastardize name spelling, one shouldn't expect you to get the quote right either, hey?If you ask what I want for Canada, it is this: that we surprise ourselves. That we astonish ourselves. And that we astonish the world. certainly, how could anyone say anything to match the grandiosity and shameless image molding that singing off-key and "twinkling the ivories" can bring to bear! Quote

madmax Posted March 7, 2011 Report Posted March 7, 2011 Sorry JBG, what is the point of this thread? JBG usually does a better job discussing Canadian Politics then being a low level hatchet man. Since this thread is completely off topic and rather stupid, and I can't get these 2 minutes back.. Here is something neutral and funny (kinda) http://www.101reasonstokillallthelawyers.com/ Quote
Topaz Posted March 7, 2011 Report Posted March 7, 2011 Go back and listen to what Michael REALLY said. He said "What I want for Canada, is to SURPRISE ourselves". Quote
bush_cheney2004 Posted March 7, 2011 Report Posted March 7, 2011 Go back and listen to what Michael REALLY said. He said "What I want for Canada, is to SURPRISE ourselves". OK...but he says the same thing when he is in the US with his Yankee cloaking device on full power. That is always a surprise! Quote Economics trumps Virtue.
madmax Posted March 7, 2011 Report Posted March 7, 2011 OK...but he says the same thing when he is in the US with his Yankee cloaking device on full power. That is always a surprise! After this election he will be both yours and JBG to deal with.... Enjoy! Quote

Topaz Posted March 7, 2011 Report Posted March 7, 2011 Here's the video that Michael tells what he wants for Canada. Slide the video to 7 minutes and by 7:20 you'll under stand what he's talking about. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pAfr330ILLk&feature=related Quote
Topaz Posted March 7, 2011 Report Posted March 7, 2011 OK...but he says the same thing when he is in the US with his Yankee cloaking device on full power. That is always a surprise! Michael was only in the US for five years, many Canadians and Americans work outside of their country, no big deal. Quote
bush_cheney2004 Posted March 7, 2011 Report Posted March 7, 2011 Michael was only in the US for five years, many Canadians and Americans work outside of their country, no big deal. Mr. Ignatieff clearly expresses himself as an American here: From "Living Fearlessly in a Fearless World" Ignatieff Commencement Address to Whitman College (USA), 2004 http://www.youtube.c...0pR0BFOxqE&NR=1 Quote Economics trumps Virtue.
PIK Posted March 7, 2011 Report Posted March 7, 2011 Go back and listen to what Michael REALLY said. He said "What I want for Canada, is to SURPRISE ourselves". We have heard many things michAel has said and usally nothing good about canada.You blew it again liberals , now get rid of him ,so you get blow it again by giving the keys to rae. LMFAO Quote Toronto, like a roach motel in the middle of a pretty living room.
scouterjim Posted March 7, 2011 Report Posted March 7, 2011 Igantieff - "If you ask what I want for Canada, it is that we astonish ourselves". Actually, I found the two videos below more "astonishing" than anything Ignatieff has said (2nd video in next post): Iggy needs to go back to the US, and leave Canadian politics to Canadians. Quote I have captured the rare duct taped platypus.
Shakeyhands Posted March 7, 2011 Report Posted March 7, 2011 ahhh... the smell of a spring election. It's nice to see all the Booster Club members coming out to parrot the same stupid shit again.

bush_cheney2004 Posted March 7, 2011 Report Posted March 7, 2011 (edited) Iggy needs to go back to the US, and leave Canadian politics to Canadians. Indeed....he would have much more time to write essays in his now trademarked "Living" series: * Living Fearlessly in a Fearless World * Living Dangerously in a Dangerous World * Living Courageously in a Courageous World * Living Honestly in an Honest World * Living Modestly in a Modest World * Living in America on $8 a day Edited March 7, 2011 by bush_cheney2004 Quote Economics trumps Virtue.

Edited to reflect spelling error pointed out by Waldo, who is an excellent editor. Sorry JBG, what is the point of this thread? I decided to do something lighter, as I also did with with this thread about "TMI" (link). JBG usually does a better job discussing Canadian Politics then being a low level hatchet man. Here is something neutral and funny (kinda) http://www.101reasonstokillallthelawyers.com/ That is very funny. Thanks. I'm sending it around.
