The First American Prime Minister: On The Importance Of Casting Absentee Ballots

"One of the legacy responsibilities of a person in public life is to make sure the political system is healthier by the time you leave than when you started. The only way the political system is going to be better off is if you're in it."
~Michael Ignatieff

I wonder if signing the Bloc Coalition agreement in December 2008 was Michael Ignatieff's idea of making the political system healthier.

He's probably forgotten all about it.

Gee. I wonder if Romina is related to anyone "famous"? I guess I'll check out the link now and see.

Very Inspiring? This guy doesn't get out much.

This is embarrassing. These folks are just bloody stupid~!

"Your responsibility is to show up 'cause it's your country. So, if you don't show up, someone else will show up." - Michael Ignatieff
Oh the irony is rich from this self-described American trying to become Prime Minister of Canada.

Dan S. I wonder if he ment that someone else with your name would vote for you? Is this something the would be American Prime Minister is aware of that the rest of us do not have privy to...is this something to to with Acorn, in Canada?

Hey Kate, check it out..

I'm loving those poll number declines, how bout you? ;)

Darn! Romina isn't Haroon's daughter. I thought there might have been a two for one with that.

Iggy is an intellectual. Dion had to hold public students hostage for PR. Iggy tours the campuses. Can the Liberal Party afford the food? Free beer is a given.

Is it a prerequisite of all Liberal/Separatist alliance leaders to be completely full of shit, or does it just come naturally. Besides being inserted as the latest saviour of the Trudeauvian empire of cultism, what the hell is the Count doing here? Did the Count think he would be inserted into the PMO like he was inserted into the leaders chair of the Liberal/Separatist alliance? With the constant and incessant negativity campaign coming from the MSM (all negative all the time) in regards to the PM and the Conservatives, along with the soft peddling of the Count by the MSM, could an election be far behind.

Gag me with a spoon.

I like the venues in which Count Iggula chooses to evangelize the myth of Liberal Democracy - bastions of the chronically gullible, unseasoned and dangerously immature. Just the way Liberal fascists like their victims , er, voters .

" The best argument against democracy is a five-minute conversation with the average voter" - Winston Churchill

"Democracy consists of choosing your dictators, after they've told you what they think it is exactly what you wanted to hear."

When will these people get off the radar?

I will suggest all these Iggyphants from these institutions of higher learning follow Iggy's lead and leave Canada for 25 or 30 years or so, that would do our country the most good they could ever do.

Here, here, Al.

From Young Liberals presidential hopeful John Lennard's site:

I'm a proud Liberal from Northern Ontario, a place where passion and hard work deliver Liberal victories

Really? I looked at the electoral map; outside of Ottawa, Kingston, the GTA, and a single seat in both London and Guelph, the Liberals won exactly one seat in the rest of Ontario, including Northern Ontario. I guess this guy's a true Liberal - never let the facts get in the way.

Iggy can't get the grownups to listen to him so he has to go after the kids.

I'm pretty sure his perambulating through the ivory halls of our institutions of higher -- ahem -- learning will garner him very few votes, though it's bound to stroke his ego and make him feel as though he's appreciated.

He's got no credibility. Whenever possible, he's out of the country -- this past summer, this Christmas -- and he expects us to notice him when he deigns to grace us with his presence? Of course, the Librano toadies in the media will shine the spotlight on him -- but who's reading the newspapers and watching the CBC?

I wish Iggy would go "home," as I'm sure his wife does, too. And "home" isn't Canada; it's most definitely not Canada.

Ya right his appearance is inspiring if a papayole in a goofy hat inspires you.

i say old boy cheerio pip pip and all that rot ...demned fine show what what...and hear hear!

"Liberal leader, on a week-long tour of universities, tells U of T students they're needed in politics"

God help us all.

Strike one,strike two .strike three,---http://thealbertaardvark.blogspot.com/2009/11/cbc-man-on-street-is-also-ignatieffs.html

"Your responsibility is to show up 'cause it's your country. So, if you don't show up, someone else will show up." and that someone could be Michael Ignatieff. There,I think the headline is fixed.

"The only way the political system is going to be better off is if you're in it."
~Michael Ignatieff

The hard fact is that the only people who are going to spend any optional time listening to Michael Ignatieff give a speech at a university are already in the political system and attended either to praise him or criticize him.

The attendees are all going to cast a vote one way or the other.

Kate

I see your point but in this case Romina is not a candidate for the LPC, just a supporter that signed up for a "grass roots fund raising diner".

Having to pay to eat grassroots with a bunch of leftards is probably pretty uninspiring so a free visit from Iffy must have been awesome.
