  2. Heard it live.
    Could not believe my lying’ ears.
    The sad part is, there are some people in Ontario and Atlantic Canada that will believe this revisionist history.
    Yikes!

  3. Excuse me for asking but I’ve seen this “First American Prime Minister” thing for a while now. I know he’s been away for most of his life, but didn’t he spend only 4 years in the US, i.e. less time there than he has been back here in Canada?
    I mean, sure, go after his years away, his actual statements and all that, but doesn’t that make your the name-calling not just incorrect and misleading but a little anti-American and also juvenile and no better than the moonbats’s anti-Americanism and their juvenile name calling?

  4. I hope “someone” holds a news conference as Rae did last year – brining up on a screen showing some speech PM Harper made that was something similar to the Australian PM…. I hope a news conference is held – showing Iggy and his many times saying just that – “Coalition if necessary – but not necessarily a Coaltion” – he said that over and over and said he had to keep it going just in case he needed it…. and then have Bob’s words read back to him!. Who do these lying liberals think they are?…. do they think they have the right to lie openly to Canadians and then have the right to be head of our Government when we opening see just what they will do to gain power…. Let’s expose these guys for what they are… I see in the Globe and Mail – Tabor trying now to blame an election on the Tories should one be called…. The liberals – are running very afraid,… and the media is out in force trying to cover all the liberals’ a—

  6. Bob Rae playing fast and loose with the truth is bound to big news today, right ? Wrong !!
    A quick google and check of CBC, CTV and The Star sites revealed:
    Kadr, Mulroney, Bernier documents, Michael Jackson.
    So just who is pulling the media strings for Bob Rae? Maurice Strong? Desmarais? Chretien? Martin? Mansbridge? Ontario Teachers? (There certainly is enough money there.)

  7. Heard it yesterday. The little chuckle that implied it was all made up while lying his arse off. Forget it Bob, when Iggy goes you are still unfit to lead. You are like Al Gore without the cause.

  10. Pure excellence.
    You won’t hear a word about it on CBC or CTV, of course.
    One suspects and hopes the Conservative war room is prepping the election ad even now.
    And, yes, the Coalition card should be played loud.

  11. Ignatieff has self-identified as American. If he fails at becoming PM, he’ll be across that border faster than a Stronach looking for medical treatment.

  12. Uncle Mo*, aka Mao Stlong, and Bob.
    Q: Bob, are you Mao Stlong’s nephew?
    Q: Where is your Uncle Mo hiding?
    ” When Rae was growing up, Strong was entertained at the family home so often by his father, Saul, that young Rae says he fondly called Strong, “Uncle Mo”.
    The boy who grew up to become premier hired “Uncle Mo” as chairman of Ontario Hydro.”

  13. Another gem at the end of the audio clip; I couldn’t believe it when I heard it yesterday.
    Rutherford: You guys formed a coalition with two other parties and Canadians went crazy.
    Rae: No they didn’t.

  14. Aren’t we better?;
    The reason for the reference to “First American Prime Minister” is because that is what Iggy referred to himself as being when he lived there. When speaking about Americans, he had the habit not of saying Americans this or Americans that, but rather saying we this and we that. So Kate is not name calling, just referring to Iggy as he referred to himself.

  15. The radio clip is now a matter of public record and, IMHO, it is much more valuable in exposing the nature of left-wing thought than Iggy’s personal history.
    To me, Iggy is more a classic liberal who would not be out of place in today’s Conserative Party and whose more natural enemies are the trojan horse socialists like Rae who have infiltrated the Liberal Party.
    Forturnately, people all over North America and Europe seem to be tiring of the Cold War rhetoric.

  17. I posted a quote yesterday that it is surprising that people who lie so often are so bad at it. What is even more surprisng are the voters who choose to believe the lying liars when their lies are so transparent.

  18. FIBerals – don’t let them be the ruling czars of Canada, they’ll change it as well, to – ‘as well as it’s gong in the US’.
    RE: Bob Rae, had to serve him lunch a few times, at political luncheon meetings just before he was premier of Ont., he was a very cheap tipper. I’d book off on those meetings whenever I could…
    Once a NDP rep stated to me: We don’t ‘need’ or get ‘tips’ to do our jobs.
    Nice folks eh?

  20. When the next election comes, we’ve got to help people understand that a vote for the Liberals or NDP is a vote for the Liberal/NDP/Bloc Coalition and that it will be even if the Liberals form a minority government.
    It was with the help of Tommy Douglas’ NDP that Lester Pearson’s Liberal governments made such radical changes to Canada.

  21. Nova Dog:
    “Iggy = Canadian if necessary, but not necessarily Canadian.”
    A big woof, woof and props for that!

  22. Iggy =
    “Canadian if necessary, but not necessarily Canadian.”
    or:
    American if necessary, but not necessarily Canadian.

  23. I find the silence of LIEberals on this interesting. Very few comments on many of their blogs.
    I hope the call an election so the Cons can exploite this to the max. Why is the Conservative war-room quiet on this?

  25. I think if anyone did a search they would find that over the years the ndp have been in a coalition with the libs during their minority governments. They got to blackmail the libs into putting their ideas into action. Layton’s problem is he expected to be able to bribe PMSH the same way and it isn’t working. His hope is for the libs and him to win enough seats to form a coalition without the Bloc having veto power. I still believe this was in the works and the PM heard about it and called the election. OOPS, libs lost seats and they had to bring the Bloc on board. If the Ont voters buy their lies, good bye to our Country as we know it.
    We will know soon enough what their plan is, if Layton doesn’t go after Iggy, or Duceppe go after Iggy we will know they are in cahoots.
    Just announced, the S/Court will hear the governments appeal re Khdar.

  26. Aren’t we Better?
    “I know he’s been away for most of his life, but didn’t he spend only 4 years in the US, i.e. less time there than he has been back here in Canada?”
    BTW – I think you are a stooge for the coalition. That is not an insult – it is an honest opinion based on the degree of arrogance shown in your comment.
    Rae lied pure and simple: Isn’t he better than that?
    I looked up Ignatieff’s his timeline – hard to find – guess where I found links – a blogger from SDA.

    “A search leading to links to a slideshow and story line regarding Iggy’s timeline were oops “no longer available”. However, I did find a site which gives his career timeline and a link to comments from an anonymous poster who gives an accurate synopsis.”
    Below are the links:

  29. He spent 34 years in the USA. “All in all that means Michael Ignatieff has lived outside Canada for at least 46 of his 62 years of life. In other words, as of today Michael Ignatieff has lived in Canada for all of 16 years.”
    From same links as above.

  30. Boob Rae has always been an ass, literally as depicted one time on Rick Mercer’s show, and it would seem he would fit right in as Iggy’s “Spin Csar”. What a bold face bunch of tin horns this group of Liberals continue to be.

  31. Do you remember this one?
    – We will eliminate the GST? JC and
    head advisor W Kinsella
    – Gun control will only cost a few million. Allan Rock
    – We only stole money and spent it in Quebec to save the country. JC
    – Iggy didn’t sign up for a coallition. Bob Rae
    – Liberal PM giving the finger to WESTERN CANADIANS. PET
    – PM spends more time on Florida golf courses than in Western Canada. JC
    One can only wonder about the state of mind a voter for the Liberals has.

  32. He spent 34 years in the USA. “All in all that means Michael Ignatieff has lived outside Canada for at least 46 of his 62 years of life. In other words, as of today Michael Ignatieff has lived in Canada for all of 16 years.”
    From same links as above.
    In my opinion, Obama will back him with lots of money – afterall they have much in common – neither can be said to be a citizen of the country they want to lead for one reason or another and they both have socialist agenda, both went to Harvard and studied law. Be prepared for lots of dirt to be dug up or made up on any and all conservatives.

  33. What does it say about one’s character when Rae’s wife is smeared by the same party that he still belongs to and plans to lead?Bob Rae thinks morals are the big teeth in the back.

  36. All I can say is that I think Bob Rae’s ego is bigger than the Count’s. His ego needs its own postal code.

  39. A couple of things come to mind:
    1 – Iggy has paid income taxes most of his life to another country, but is/will(?) be eligible for the best pension ever. With our tax dollars.
    He will probably return to the US to retire (after all the only thing he missed about Canada was Algonquin Park) and pay taxes to the US on his Cnd pension.
    2 – If the liberal coffers have $$$, should they not pay back the adscam diverted funds before anything else?
    These liberals cost us at every turn…

  41. Hey Anne (not from Cornwall), I wonder if Iggy makes over $250K US and that’s why he’s hiding out here for awhile? Doesn’t he have to pay taxes to both sides?

  42. You guys just don’t get it; a Liberal Government is what’s best for the Country. Canada is rudderless without being Governed by it’s Natural Governing Party.
    Now; Pleeese, just stop the squabbling.

  43. I think The Igster is determined to try to force an election asap because his “Left handed kissing cousin”, Obama is driving the US down a rat hole faster than the Libs could fill brown bags with money.If the media finally decides to rport what the Dems are doing in and to that country the jig will be up for the Dems and the Libs in Canada.
    You can bet that Acorn and Acorn wannabes will be stomping their feet at every chance trying the intimidation route used in the US last Nov.

  44. Mortimer,
    To be honest, I’m not sure how it works with a pension. But I do know when you work in the US and keep your Canadian residency, you pay taxes to the US first (as an alien – highest bracket, no deductions) then you are credited that amount when you complete your Canadian taxes (and there was always a balance owing, living in Ontario and all). An American working in Canada would pay taxes to Canada first. There is a reciprocal agreement between certain countries.
    I doubt Iggy kept his Canadian residency. So he would have paid to the US only.

  47. Bob Rae is a bad liar.
    I mean all liars are bad, but he stammers, he uh-uh-uhs, he hesitates (you can tell he’s trying to calculate, really fast, just what lie to tell and whether or not it fits in with the other lies he’s told), he laughs nervously.
    Ye Gawds.
    He obviously feels totally entitled to his falsehoods because he’s being propped up by the backroom bagmen.
    It’s a very nasty game he’s playing, and he plays it as though it’s just another day in a “contact sport,” as he calls it. He’s the one slamming his opponents into the boards, not the other way around, and he’s doing it high sticking and using his blades all the way.
    Blood on the election trail, alright.

  48. An argument is a connected series of statements intended to establish a proposition.
    Other Man:
    No it isn’t!
    Man:
    Yes it is! ’tisn’t just contradiction.
    Other Man:
    Look, if I “argue” with you, I must take up a contrary position!
    Man:
    Yes but it isn’t just saying ‘no it isn’t’.
    Other Man:
    Yes it is!
    Man:
    No it isn’t!
    Other Man:
    Yes it is!
    Man:
    No it isn’t!
    Other Man:
    Yes it is!
    Man:
    No it ISN’T! Argument is an intellectual process. Contradiction is just the automatic gainsaying of anything the other person says.
    Other Man:
    It is NOT!

  49. Don’t know why but Bobby lying to cover for Iggy brings to mind Monty Python’s dead parrot sketch.
    This parrot you sold me is dead
    No ‘e’s not.
    He is so dead
    No ‘e’s not, ‘e’s just resting
    His feet are nailed to the perch!!!

  50. Questions the CBC is afraid to ask (Perhaps worth a new thread)
    1. Professor Ignatieff, in all the years you lived outside of Canada, did you pay Canadian Income Tax on your global income, OR did you take all the necessary steps (ie. terminate residency)to avoid paying Canadian Income Tax??????
