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.

Final Update: Now being covered by SunTV, captured to youtube by SDAMatt!

Now being carried by CTV and CBC. SDA gets results!

  1. I am sorry the crowd booed — as that’s just being mean-spirited and rude…
    Think of it as an opinion poll – for free.

  2. “I am sorry the crowd booed — as that’s just being mean-spirited and rude…”
    Mean spirited & rude to me, is taking our guns away. Enjoy the love Iggy.

  4. Q: who goes to a play off game in a suit and tie ?

    A: The coaches
    Do win a prize? 😉

  5. Maybe I’m a luddite but every time I read a Twitter chain I come away feeling like I’ve lost IQ points. Especially when it involves that spiteful b*tch O’Mally.

  6. Frank Q and others:
    Much as I am loath to defend Iggy, he did play on his high school hockey team, who are and were pretty good, and perhaps I’m old, but I remember when almost everyone attending the Leafs at MLG wore a jacket and tie. There’s lots to get on the guy about, but he knows how to play hockey, and dressing well is not a sin in my book.

  7. “who goes to a play off game in a suit and tie” ?
    Harper looks good, natural in his “Kitchener tuxedo”, had it on again yeterday. Iggy looks natural in a suit.I thought he said his wife dressed him, how many games has she been to?

  10. Maybe I’m a luddite but every time I read a Twitter chain I come away feeling like I’ve lost IQ points.
    Why they’re called twits, I suppose. Each one trying to be more clever than the next, nonsense.

  11. Too true KevinB. When a player was not participating during the season, he was required to wear a suit and tie.

  12. Canada’s corrupt liberal media is teetering on the edge of a financial meltdown. Ratings and credibility are at historic lows.
    The deal with the CRTC used to be a blank cheque (simulcasting US programming) in exchange for promoting everything liberal. The internet has changed everything.
    In the next couple of years watch broadcasters and newspapers petition the government (Harper’s majority government) for stimulus cash and parliamentary appropriations.
    All of a sudden, liberalism is extremely bad for business. How sweet is that?

  13. MND — ” “At the Ice Hockey Game.”.
    That’s a masterstroke, Kate! ”

    A subtle slap to the first AMERICAN prime minister in-waiting.

  14. Well, don’t know much about Canadian politics but I did learn how to pronounce Ignatieff’s name from watching the video but I think I’ll just refer to him as count Iggy: sounds better.

  16. Who goes to a hockey game in a suit and tie? The coaches, the managers, the owners, injured players — and that’s true whether it’s junior or pro. At Vancouver Canuck games during the work week, you see lots of suits and ties. I’ve worn one there myself; the games start early on the west coast and people go straight from work to the stadium and have dinner there in time to watch the game. I thoroughly enjoy Iggula’s discomfiture at finding himself unwelcome in such an un-Liberal demographic, but some posters here don’t seem to get out much.

  17. Heh!! The second video posted by Consluff @ 2:50 PM is priceless MSM obtuseness. Oliver sounds almost incredulous when he asks Smith to comment on the booing incident. Then Smith says:
    “I think it shows how much trouble he has had redefining the image of him that was laid out by the Conservative attack ads.”
    No, Mr. Smith. I’m sorry to have to tell you this, but the image problem he’s having trouble with is living up to is the one the MSM created of him.

  19. Orlin in Marquette at 3:07 PM: “Well, don’t know much about Canadian politics but I did learn how to pronounce Ignatieff’s name from watching the video but I think I’ll just refer to him as count Iggy: sounds better.”
    I’m sure the Liberal Party and the Count himself would appreciate that, Orlin. Not to mention the Tsar and Tsarina.

  21. “I wasn’t there and I can’t report anything firsthand.”
    Must be new CP rules, until now Cheeseball, Bitchburn et al have been able to report any hearsay, innuendo and smear directed at the PM and the CPC as holy writ. This is refreshing.

  22. If the fool would have just sat in the stands with everyone else he might have been slightly better of.Poor dufus

  23. It doesn’t seem particularly rude to me – or, at least, that kind of rude is the risk you run when you run. Politicians show up at events like this hoping to be cheered. Well, booed is the flipside of that. He didn’t show up anonymously or quietly ’cause he loves hockey, he made an appearance as part of an election campaign.
    That forced smile while he was being booed. The man is seriously awkward.

  24. Thankyou Kate and all the bloggers who reported this story, if did not reported it you can be sure Liberal Media and the Ottawa Press Gallary would of buried the story. That people is what scares me, the media should report the news as it happens or happened but they don’t they use their liberal loopy logic to infect and pollute the truth because that’s what they do for a living.

  25. “I wasn’t there and I can’t report anything firsthand.”
    Parenthetical “I can only report things underhanded.”

  26. I think Harper needs to show up in Montreal at the next Habs game, or in Vancouver, should we need a game 7 against Chicago.

  27. inn of the north wrote: “who goes to a play off game in a suit and tie?”
    The real question is, Has anyone ever seen Steven Harper in a box at a hockey game?

  28. “who goes to a play off game in a suit and tie?”
    The kind of guy who tucks his shirt into his underwear.

    “Has anyone ever seen Steven Harper in a box at a hockey game?”
    Not me, but I prefer the leader of my country sweating his **** off until midnight every night hunched over a desk and working on the economy.
    That’s just me, and why I wouldn’t personally ever want the job.
    Iggy can sit front row with Obamba at the next Bulls game while the world falls apart around them.

  30. I suspect that the lieberal MSM, and especially CBC thought they could back Iggy and ride into a position of increased government funding on his coattails. It gives me great satisfaction to see them fall on their faces over this.
    The best thing that could happen is a Conservative majority and the NDP in opposition, with Iggy slinking away back to Harvard with his tail between his legs like a running dog.

  32. Ghost of Ed at 3:56 PM: “I wasn’t there and I can’t report anything firsthand.”
    Parenthetical “I can only report things underhanded.”
    ===========
    There you have it. A new standard in journalism. If they weren’t there, they won’t report it. Looking forward to “test pattern” or fuzzy snow for most of the day on our news networks.

  33. This is hilarious and just great. Could it really happen that Taliban Jack Lenin could be opposition leader?

  34. “There you go again”.
    As Ronald Reagan often said to Jimmah Carter.
    There you go again, Count Ignatieff.
    Why are you talking again about your family?
    Why do you not mention your Russian Tsarist great-grandfather, Count Nicolai Ignatieff, who had some vile words to say about “dirty” Jews. By his words/actions, he was an anti-semite.
    Count Nicolai is on your family tree. Here* is a place to start to read up on your Ignatieff family.
    …-

  35. If the MSM are reporting this incident it means that thousands of SDA fans are way ahead of the curve – AGAIN!! The msm were warned: SDA gets results. You win again, Kate. Congratulations to you and Matt.
    We are at the ‘possible’ Trojan Horse moment in this election, IMO. The Troika and the msm backed georgie porgie/soros gang might have some Marxist magic up their gun barrels and I see the wisdom in the words that bartinski posted:
    ‘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.’
    Conservatives must keep our eyes and ears open and push every single skirmish right over the top. Victory is never declared until after the final battle (May 2)is won. We have the EC bush fighters and the soros acorn folks to monitor before we can get smug. It is not over til the fat lady (E. Canada in this case) sings.
    Happy Easter to all. God Bless Canada.

    Rae: “I have a lot of thoughts on Mr. Harper,”.
    Maurice Strong’s nephew’s “thoughts” include this*:

    “I have a lot of thoughts on Mr. Harper, but I don’t think for a moment that he slashed the tires of my car,” Rae said with a smile, eliciting laughter from the crowd at a Toronto event with Ignatieff Sunday afternoon.”

    “I’ve seen him at games but only in the crowd!”
    Was the crowd booing him?

  38. On the other hand, Orlin, if you really want to impress your friends, here’s a handy guide to pronunciation:
    Ig = as in ignoramous or ignorant
    gnat = as in pesky little insect that can give you a really bad bite
    yeFF = as in #%^*ing, if you know what I mean.

  39. Taliban Jack LaytoNDP now # One Dog in the socialist Separatist Coalition.
    The leftist dog-fight has ended with the Count vanquished by Taliban Jack.
    The phony-war was called off by Liberal leader Bob Rae, et al.
    Here is the clue:
    >>> “Liberal leader Michael Ignatieff and Liberal incumbent Bob Rae speak with reporters on Sunday in Toronto.”
    >>> Take a bow, Count. Exit, stage left.
    …-
    “Ignatieff would work with Layton if NDP held more seats than Liberals”
    “TORONTO — Despite running attack ads questioning NDP leader Jack Layton’s judgment, Liberal leader Michael Ignatieff said he’d have no problems working with Layton if he was boss.
    Ignatieff told reporters Sunday in Toronto that he sticks with what he’s said all along — he’s willing to work with every political party even if that means working with Layton in an NDP-led arrangement, if that party wins more seats than the Liberals.
    “What I’ve said from the beginning to the end, has not changed and will not change. I’ve said I’m willing to work with all political parties. All. Repeat, all parties in the House. What Canadians want after May 2 is for their Parliament to work. We can’t predict what the shape of that Parliament will be. But I want to make it very clear my willingness to work with any political party to get the business of the country done,” Ignatieff said.”

  41. Jess,
    Like the Liberals will go down in History for the sponsorship scandal, stealing millions from Canada’s taxpayers, and never returning the money.
    Think anybody cares about that?

  42. Jess, you fool, he will go down as the prime minister whom inferior competition tried to turf from office using any means necessary but was returned there with a stronger mandate by the people that inferior and out of touch competition pretended to represent.
    Contempt of parliament. Give me a break.

  43. Knight 99:
    Re Harper, hockey, booing
    Harper has attended numerous Ottawa Senators games always sitting in the first bowl amongst the common people. Watching on tv he has been cheered and applauded each time he has been shown on the centre ice video screen. On one occasion i recall the sports broadcaster tell the viewing audience, while showing footage clips, that Harper spent the entire intermission accomodating fans wanting an autograph and photo with him.

  44. Voila! The socialist Separatist Coalition.
    Premiere Appearance Sponsored by PET Cemetery.
    Count pays homage to Liberal leader Bob Rae by parroting Rae’s lines:
    >>> “”We’ve got our problems with Mr. Harper, but we don’t think he’s slashing our tires. I want to make that clear,” Ignatieff said with a chuckle.”
    …-
    “Ignatieff, Layton speak at Toronto parade”
    “Ignatieff and Layton both made appearances at the Khalsa Day parade, a Sikh celebration in Toronto. The leaders both made brief speeches.”

  46. So what is the other Count (son of Ottfried and Eva) going to do with the pay as you go Internet use, so as to be similar with your power use? I would think the television use should have came first, but that is just me. This was put on hold until after the election. Over 300,000 signatures on a petition, but completely ignored during the election campaign. Where did all those angry students go? I see some big squeaking coming after the election.

  48. Jess is worse than a fool. She compared Gitmo to a Nazi concentration camp. I consider her a sub-troll and definitely to be ignored.

  49. After a dark decade of jean cretin and allen (I want all your guns) rock, I’d say boos were indeed in order. liberals deserve scorn. I hope the home team won the game.

  50. Jess, “Who cares if they booed him at a hockey game? He still won’t go down in history as the only PM found in contempt of Parliament in the history of Canada…as Harper will.”
    ———
    As Kate would say, the booing is probably nothing.
    Couldn’t be that Iggy, in his abuse of Canadian parliament, has been found in contempt of the people of Canada.
