The First American Prime Minister, At The Ice Hockey Game

2011 Federal Election 222 Comments

We get mail!

Kate, this probably will not be in the media tomorrow about the American Count Iggy’
He attended an Ontario Hockey league play-off game in Mississauga, Ontario tonight, there were about 4000 fans from Niagara and Mississauga present in the arena. He was introduced to the fans, waved, bowed etc. and was booed by the whole crowd for over two minutes. We are not sure how long he stayed at the game afterwards. Mississauga according to the media is supposed to be a Liberal stronghold !!!.

Well, it’s been reported by Open Ice Hockey reporter Nathan Dearing. Over at the Ignatieff campaign bus, the big media tweeters remained silent.
Update – Well, here’s a brand new Canadian Press story on the game. No Liberal leaders reported in attendance.
Morning Update – Confirmation from the V.P. Marketing of the Mississauga St. Mike’s Majors …
And this absolute howler from CP reporter Steve Rennie, traveling with the Ignatieff campaign.

  1. Iggy is staring into an abyss.
    The compliant media bubble I believe is protecting Iggy not out of liberal bias, but because they don’t want to be blamed for the trainwreck.

  2. I’m pretty sure that the game was televised on Rogers Ch 10 (according to brief web search). Any chance that Mississauga Matt taped it? 🙂

  7. Watched a video on cbc of him in a hospita. It seems he’s no longer preening , like a horny duck.

  8. Ouch, that’s gotta sting. That, combined with the more recent polling data gives me cautious optimism.

  9. Iggy claims the NDP spending plan is “science fiction”. Pot and kettle I guess. The more desperate he gets, the more I am looking forward to him labeling Layton and his gang “Marxists”. At least he would be telling the truth. Read the preamble to the NDP constitution.

  10. Iggy probably got the idea from seeing PMSH do the CBC interview in a hockey rink. Problem is Harper looks natural in a hockey jacket, which he is. Iggy, not so much, maybe cricket is more his cup of tea.

  11. There’s *got* to be some video out there. Keep checking Youtube! I searched the following;
    Michael Ignatieff booed mississauga communism
    but no hits yet.

  13. This situation is rather like Paul Martin showing up at the 2006 Grey Cup in Vancouver, and being booed so loudly by the sell-out crowd, that the CBC had to dial down the sound.

  14. I really missed Paul Martin’s strained “I just shat myself” grin that he always wears. It was nice seeing him again. Reminded me of a pending conservative victory.

    I was there and you are not kidding about the volume of the boos from the crowd! There was a couple in front of us from Edmonton and I thought the woman was going to jump onto the field to get in a kick at Martin. It certainly was a memorable day :))

  17. Personally, I think all politicians should be booed at public events at which they have no relevance. We elect them to manage the finances, maintain the highways and secure the borders; not interrupt our free time with their egos.

  18. Chrisinmanitoba; Do you not remember Katsmeat Kinsella getting a big belly laugh amoungst Lieberals and the Olivers of the corrupt MSM while wearing a Barney suit making fun of a Good Man Stockwell Day. Well I do, and any thing that these stinking lying lieberals get thrown at them is not enough. They are, and have been thieves liars and cheats, ever since Pearson, and having had many street fights, you just don’t feel sorry for the dick that picked the fight with ya, you get as mean as you can to kick his ass. Man up boy, wer’e almost there.

  19. “He was introduced to the fans, waved, bowed etc. and was booed by the whole crowd for over two minutes.”
    That made me laugh out loud for over two minutes.

  20. May 2, 2011. Remember that date, folks. Tell the grandchildren you were there the day the media died.
    BHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHA!!
    We should organize mock funerals all across this country.

  21. Just remember, when a crowd of people boo a journalist at a political rally, that is news (national news!), but when a political leader is booed at a hockey game during an election campaign, that is silence. Especially when the leader is Liberal, but I am sure other commenters will tell me that I am imagining the Liberal bias of our mainstream media.
    I guess we’ll have to see if anyone actually reports this as news. I am not going to hold my breath!

  22. Paging ctv’s Roger Smith..cbc’s Laurie Graham,both travelling on the Iggy bus.Hello..hello..must have both had a Blackberry meltdown.Funny,how the msm can tweet their foolish heads off,over the LAMEST thing on the Cons bus..tonite,crickets!

  25. And from Mike in Calgary’s link, even Rabble is reporting it. I suppose to attack Iggy in Jack’s favour.

  27. I’m thinking that the best way for Iggy’s poll numbers to start heading back up would be for him to quit campaigning and ride it out till election day.

  28. I’m sure that Iggula said to his minders, “Whose idea was it to bring me to this abortion” Yes Yes there it is MSM, headlines, bigger than Lindsay Lowbrow, jump on it Bourque, quick Bourque big headlines! Naw I didn’t think so, not true, like all your headlines though Bourque. Got that feeling that you backed the wrong horse yet Bourque?

  29. Maybe it’s better that no journalists will admit this happened. People from the game will talk about it and they will say that it was censored by the media …
    Sometimes I wonder how many journalists really believe they are around to influence public opinion as opposed to reporting events. Maybe they misbelieve in their own credibility. Thankfully journalists don’t choose governments.

  32. “and was booed by the whole crowd for over two minutes.” I think there is a mssg. in that.

  33. The on-line activity will force the msm to report. Otherwise they look like fools. By tomorrow morning, not only the people at the game will know that this was hidden by the liberal-friendly media

  34. From the report (about the game): “Momentum is a funny thing,” continued Williamson. “It starts to go against you and then you’re on your heels.”
    Apropos or what!
    Deflating!

  36. Steve Rennie is the CP reporter with Ignatieff this week. He’s @steve_rennie on twitter. Wonder how many people asking him if he heard the boos it would take to shame him into reporting it.

  39. Nothing from Roger Smith or Laurie Graham..Laurie said Iggy was going to ‘church’ tonite!

  40. Who the he11 is doing the thinking over at Liberal Campaign HQ?? Do they really think a HOCKEY GAME is the place for the Count to drum up support? He should stick to the Starbucks circuit. Maybe this was foreshadowing the reception the Liberal Party Holiday Special will get tomorrow.

  41. Hmmm
    I can feel relief by our economy, our firearms, our troops, even our sheep….although certain elements in Massachusetts are cringing…..
    No surprise really but we needed a sign….a burning bush so to speak….
    I shall sleep the sleep of the just…….

  42. Can we imagine the saturation coverage if this had happened to Harper?
    No we can’t.

  43. Maybe as a gesture of kindness, Conservatives should take up a collection to pay for Liberal slashed tires.
    If we’re winning we don’t need to be mean about it.
    But by all means, keep booing!

  46. soundofmusak & bartinsky, yup I know. My excuse of being soft is I’ve had a couple nice strong IPAs tonight, in a good mood, and I’m a friendly sort in this state. Don’t worry, after a few minutes of reading the CBC and browsing the G&M comments section I’ll be bloodthirsty again. 😉

  47. Please, anyone with any good contacts, get this news out there.
    On comment board – both political and sport comment pages.
    To NDP supporters – Can you imagine if Jack could reference this in a speech (where he has 1000 people cheering)?
    Everyone, spread this FAR, WIDE and FAST.

  48. If this happened and if there is good audio/video and if people stood up to boo… someone could really go to town splicing it with the “rise up” video.
