Finaly Ignatief is getting fair reviews for taking a job at U of T.

Who would have thought that it would take a huge political defeat for him to get the last word

When will the Liberals re-do their website? Iggy's still front and centre there. Perhaps a page with the message

"Due to our usual infighting, a battle for interim leader is currently ongoing. Check back in about a week. Thank you. Oh, and don't forget to click on the donations link.

From the party at the exact middle, the very centre, of all things Canadian."

He'll get that done all right, just as the NDP forms the next government. :lol:

He's more liked now then he was while he was leader.

And as a bonus, the Conservatives will actually continue to believe the crapola line that academics have no business in politics.

Why don't you e-mail them and ask them? Aren't you a retire Fed worker? So you know how to do it.

Exactly what last word is he getting?

"You won't have Iggy to kick around anymore."

“I’m going back into a classroom because the only damn thing I can do that’s any use to anybody is to teach kids what I learned and what mistakes I made,”

“I’m quite excited about the next phase of my life,” he said. “Without blowing my horn too much, there’s not too many people who have been full-scale academics and who’ve also been the leader of a political party. It’s a special experience.

“And there’s some things you learn when you’ve done it, and it’s just not in the books. I did it. I’ve lived it. And I know what’s in the books isn’t what it’s like. Everybody who’s done it knows that it’s really different – and you want to tell [students] that, not to discourage them from public service but to get them to commit, and take the risks involved.

"Some things are just not in the books", a statement that rings loudly coming from a guy who's had his nose in them for so many years. Looks like Dr. Ignatieff got schooled on the workings of politics in the real world.
