The First American Prime Minister In Waiting

Hey, don't you think he was pretty deft? I mean he could have mentioned dead cats in food or LIEberal puffins hiding their excrement!

But people, beaver tails are an advancement in Canadian political life.

What could be more Canadian than beaver?

You can bet more than a nickel on that outcome.

Would that be heads or Canadian beaver tails?

But seeing that Michael has spent 30 years in the US he was clearly referring to The Giant Beaver (Castoroides ohioensis) was a huge species of rodent, with a length up to 2.5 m (8.2 ft)[1] and an estimated weight of 60-100 kg (130-220 lbs); past estimates went up to 220 kg (1500 lbs).[2] It lived in North America during the Pleistocene epoch, and went extinct at the end of the last Ice Age, 10,000 years ago.[3] The extinction of the Giant Beaver may have been due to ecological restructuring at the end of the Pleistocene.[4] The arrival of humans in the Americas could have been a factor, but there is no evidence that humans hunted the Giant Beaver.[3] It was one of the abundant Pleistocene megafauna — a wide variety of very large mammals that lived during the Pleistocene.

Fossils of the Giant Beaver are concentrated around the Midwestern United States in states near the Great Lakes, particularly Illinois.

Thus are we to conclude that the Giant Beaver was really part of the political machine in Chicago Illinois!?!

But times have changed and Canadian have moved beyond ancient tales of Giant Beavers.

I find it amazing that Iggy even knows what a Beaver Tail is.....they dont serve it in salons.

I wonder if he has ever tried one?

Of course what a difference a President makes. In Jim Blanchard's book it is made clear that when Clinton came to Ottawa and they were driving back to Air Force one they saw the sign for Beaver Tails and Clinton commented and laughed like a naughty schoolboy at the name.

That tells you about all you need to know on the difference between Clinton and Obama.

I wonder how Liberals will like him after he helps the PM get rid of the CWB and the Long Gun Registration. I anticipate an announcement anytime now; after all, he's one of us now, right?

The CPC should be really careful about trying their smear campaign on Ignatieff. He is not as weak a leader as Dion, and even with Dion all they managed to get was a slight increase in their minority.

Rather, the CPC should try to become a conservative party for a change, instead of this red Tory melange of soft Liberal policies, slow Green solutions, and outright planned ignoring of the free speech issue.

Why SDA is such a botbed of Harper support defies logic -- Harper is becoming a liability rather than an asset to the conservative movement in Canada.

He refuses to provide realistic leadership on climate change, preferring to grab a place at the table of the Strong-Soros globalist cartel by making the appropriate noises about a non-existent problem. SDA runs many threads about what a fraud climate change is, so why do most of you support a leader who supports this fraud?

Harper is no more conservative than Ignatieff.

Peter O'Donnell: Please. Take a look at Prime Minister Stephen Harper's political past in Canada (in comparison to, say, Ignatieff's) and then say that he's no more conservative than the Iggster.

PMSH and the CPC are in power and if they're going to forward any conservative policies (which cause the MSM to squirm and lie and undermine the prime minister and the CPC), there's only so much they can do given their minority status.

The alternative to the many political compromises needed to stay in power (you know? politics is "the art of the possible") would be the Liberals in back in power.

Is that what PMSH, the CPC, or Conservatives want?

NO THANKS.

Peter, as a Lib you're a loser. You have nothing in the party's future that can touch PMSH so you tear him down. He stood tall beside Obama, and met him as an equal. Poor Iggy, who obviously doesn't know who he is, couldn't quite figure out what his role was. So instead of mentioning the Lib's pet Kadhr, he goes for the closest appendage.
One of the most embarrassing clips for Iggy so far, but doubt it will be the last. He hasn't gone skinny dipping with Canada's favourite welfare case yet.

And, BTW, Peter O'Donnell, re your comment "The CPC should be really careful about trying their smear campaign on Ignatieff":

What CPC smear campaign? I'm not aware of one. The guy who wrote this article isn't c/Conservative by the sounds of it. So, what do you mean?

As far as my dislike of Michael Ignatieff goes, it's because of his arrogance in having been parachuted into a Toronto riding after almost 30 years of living outside of Canada, becoming Liberal leader without a vote, and his conceit that he might make a good prime minister with absolutely no prior political experience and based only on his silver-spoon pedigree and "international author" status.

He suffers from the usual Librano elitism and he's utterly unashamed. Entitled is a word that comes to mind, and I'm sick and tired of Liberal entitlements.

Peter is just jealous that the CPC came up with a crash survival plan that may have a faint hope of working, leaving his guys stuck with trying to poison it.

I think Iggy was stunned into silence by meeting The One in the flesh for the first time. And not in a good way.

In the months ahead, Iggy may actually start working constructively with the CPC out of fear that Obama's going to single handedly ruin the North American economy. Its no fun being Prime Minister of a country with no electricity or running water, eh?

From Stephen Taylor's blog:

So who is Michael Stickings? Some have pointed out that he’s a Liberal-minded fellow who writes a blog. But let’s dig a bit deeper.

Michael Stickings isn’t just some grassroots Liberal-minded blogger, he’s a senior policy adviser in Dalton McGuinty’s public service! Stickings is listed as a senior member of the Ontario government’s “Strategy and Results Branch” of which reports to the Deputy Minister of Intergovernmental Affairs.

… This isn’t just some wannabe Liberal hack. This shows that there are some serious questions about Ignatieff among well-placed Liberal supporters.

Guys, I don't think Peter O'Donnell is coming from the left side of the aisle at all; he sounds more like one of our disgruntled "base".

Iggy goes Country!
From Taber in G&M: Iggy seeks to bridge rural-urban divide.
Iggy spoke to Can.Fed of Agriculture,says:"we libs understood rural Canadians.We listened to them.We WERE them!"
Uh-huh.

"O'Donnell part of the 'disgruntled base'?

A very, very, small part and the part which wails every day about how loathesome PM Harper is because PM Harper has failed to singlehandedly shut down all of the lawsuits pending against O'Donnell and his 'friends' charged with silly things like slander, bigotry, and, threats to do bodily harm, to name but just a few charges.

Suck it up O'Donnell. Oh, and good luck with that new independent political entity which must be at least the 10th 'new' independent body your associates have attempted to set up to influence conservatives to vote Liberal in the past 5 years?

Bulletin! For all you grassroots.

"Tories won't protect CBC from drop in ad revenue: PMO"

"Even while in government, the Conservatives have appealed to distaste for the CBC among grassroots supporters to raise funds for the party. But Waddell said there is likely little support for a CBC bailout, even among the general public."
