  1. Sure Ignatieff wants to stick around at least until he qualifies for his pension entitlements.

  2. So Iggy would be willing to prop up an NDP-led government. If this doesn’t push the moderates toward a Conservative majority I can’t imagine what would.

  3. Let’s have 20 political parties, each with their own pet projects who can gang-up on the leader and ankle-bite him/her to death.
    Yeah, that’s good for democracy. What could possibly go wrong?

  4. WHAT A PUTTS.Don’t give him a shovel or we’ll have a political china syndrome on our hands.

  5. Mr. Iffy would not even make a good Tourism Minister, as he would not be able to decide whether tourists should come to Canada or Canadians should visit other countries.

  6. Iggy is in full desparation mode. Seems pretty obvious that the Libs are in serious trouble. God how nice would it be if the voters in Etobicoke Lakeshore dumped his sorry ass.

  7. Anti-Israeli and anti-semitic glue have bound and will continue to bind the leftards.

  8. “Liberal leader Michael Ignatieff said he’d have no problems working with Layton if he was boss.”
    How magnanimous! Of course Igantieff will work with anyone,Layton,Duceppe,the Devil Himself(although I doubt he’d hang around losers like the three stooges), ANYONE, to be able to put “Canadian Government Cabinet Minister” on his resume.
    President of Harvard in the interview,”oh yes, you worked in that Country up North,hm”.

  9. Has this guy got a death wish or is he trying to beat Kim Campbell’s record?

  10. Western Canadians better make up their minds right now, to prepare for civil unrest if they do not support the Separatist LIB?NDP?BLOC Party Coalition. Better start organizing now. The RAPE of Western Canada is being laid out now.

  11. If the Bruins beat the Canadiens, Iggy will be able to see the next playoff round when he gets back to Harvard.

  12. Bob Rae in the photo in the link? Get ready to see and hear lots more of Mr Rae Daze as the Libranos allow The Count to impale himself.
    Methinks the Libranos are keeping their Bob Rae powder dry until PMSH retires.

  13. I was just at the event today in Victoria that was live streamed. My kids had fun inspite of what the retards in the press spout off about. Terry Milewski was in an especially foul mood for his question today. I loved how they pulled his mic after he was done. Him and Fife both looked like they were ready to kill someone or something. Anyway it was a good event and very neat to see behind the scenes of the tour. Talked with the PM briefly and he seemed to be in good spirits.

  14. Iggy says he’ll work with any party. Here are the other Federal parties he’s willing to work with.
    Animal Alliance Environment Voters Party of Canada (founded in 2005) – environmentalist, animal liberationist
    Canadian Action Party (founded in 1997) – populist, anti-globalizationChristian Heritage Party of Canada (founded in 1987) – social conservative
    Communist Party of Canada (founded in 1921) – communist
    Communist Party of Canada (Marxist-Leninist) (founded in 1970) – communist/Marxist-Leninist influenced by Maoism and the ideas of Enver Hoxha
    First Peoples National Party of Canada (founded in 2005) – Aboriginal rights advocacy
    Green Party of Canada (founded 1983) – Green
    Libertarian Party of Canada (founded in 1975) – libertarian
    Marijuana Party of Canada (founded in 2000) – pro-marijuana legalization
    Rhinoceros Party (founded in 2006) – Joke party
    Pirate Party of Canada (founded 2009) Copyright, Privacy, Network neutrality, Open government
    Progressive Canadian Party (founded in 2004) – progressive conservative, Red Tory
    United Party of Canada
    Western Block Party (founded 2005) – western separatist and paleoconservative/libertarian conservative

  15. James:
    They took the Mike away from Milewski?
    Oh,Oh! Big report coming up on the National tonight that they wouldn’t let him question the PM.

  16. That’s a highly principled stand that Iggy is taking. Quite in your face of him, to show he’d do anything, anything to gain a seat in cabinet.
    Minister of Silly Walks?

  17. First he says Layton isn’t competant to lead this nation but he’s okay with joining forces with him to lead this nation. Jesus wept if the media weren’t in bed with that fool he’d be scoring in the negative.

  18. Effing hilarious. He might not have a problem with that situation, but I think the Liberal Party of Canada would … hahahha!

  19. Why wouldn’t Iggy work with anybody?
    The coalition agreement does not expire until June 30, 2011.
    Look it up.

  20. Hey Iggy, do you hear that sound?
    That’s the same bus that you helped to throw the hapless Dion under.
    And it’s coming for you!

  21. All jokes aside…if PM Harper doesn’t get a majority Govt. after this election, we are looking at Layton, Ignatieff, and Duceppe as Canada’s next Govt. Who will be Prime Minister is who of the coalition gets the most seats. Libs vote Liberal…NDP vote NDP and Block vote ??? Whatever happens I am ill thinking about it.All the work put forward for the Country by PM Harper will go down the toilet and there are Canadians out there who are socialists and just don’t see this. They will never get what the coalition are promising, and if they think that PM Harper can’t work with them…wait and see how they won’t be able to work with each other.Our economy will be destroyed and it makes me ill thinking about it.

  22. As I mentioned here a couple of days ago the chances of Iggy working for Jack are like snowballs in hell. There are far too many ‘Blue’ Liberals occupying the back bench that would allow this to happen. If the CPC’s don’t get the required majority, say short by five or so seats you can bet the mortgage that enough Liberals will cross the floor to prevent Canada from becoming a financial basket case, like the PIIGS in Europe. These ‘Blue’ Liberals will have had enough of the “jaundiced Party Line sliding into NDP territory by the leadership of Rae, Dosanjh, and Dalliwal” and will start jumping ship. They’ve seen what the “socialist” future holds and they want no part of it.

  23. Perhaps when Iggy goes back to Harvard Kim Campbell will give him a Gold Star for his outstanding political career.
    Seriously, has anyone ever tanked a political campaign so completely? May 2nd will be a blowout.

  24. I was at a hockey game last nite and a booing broke out.
    Conspiculously it was booing for one politician but applause for another – hockey fans do have some sophistication.

    4000 people booed #Ignatief at the #Majors game tonight while #Mississauga Mayor#HazelMcCallion got a huge ovation. She should run Canada

  25. I agree Antenor but not just ‘Blue’ Liberals who want get re-elected and realize being in a coalition that is at the mercy of the BLOC is not a good career move. If Layton is the Official Opposition leader, there are a also a handful of Lib MP’s with big egos who would find it absolutely humiliating to take orders from Layton and the NDP.

  26. If the NDP do manage to become the official opposition the Liberal Party will implode and that would not be a good thing because sooner or later thhe opposition becomes the government. God help us all.

  27. Talk about being a useful idiot to a marxist.
    I think whoever said Iggy is trying to get his six years two election wins in for the big fat pension is right on. Anyone with an ounce of class and dignity would resign upon a strong conservative win and and a loss of leader of the opposition to a commie hack with a cane.

  28. what im hearing is mr flip flop just threw in the towel and we still have a week to go ?
    its gonna be a great week watching the libs implode.

  29. Iggy is running around like a drunk at closing time trying to pick up any troll he can. I can only hope that saner minds prevail come election day. It’s a conservative majority or disaster. If Layton gets in charge it will be a race with Obummer to see which country will go over the cliff first. God Help Us is right!

  30. Oh God if Terry Molester couldn’t get his “slanted” question in to Harper there will be hell to pay on tonights National, somber Peter will, in his best golf announcer voice, question the CPC and their revving up of “People that are Effing Sick of Effing Lieberals”. Foot on throat time people, this country is to great and about to be greater with a resounding Harper majority, we will benifit from the exodus of good people and manufacturers from, every lunatic jurisdiction, ala CA WA OR or whatever idiotic place they believed in “Glowball Warming, and stifled their inventive people, like Russia/China did for 70 years. With our dollar, and the successes of the last 5 years we will become the go to place for the brightest of the bright to grow businesses and thrive. And to make things fair to those places who have lost good people, we will sent them Iggula Jack and Gill, along with Dizzy May to round out their need for more COMMUNISTS, after all that is what is driving people out of these places.

  31. The article says, “Ignatieff laughed at the “hypothetical” scenario…”
    Canadians are beginning to laugh at the “hypothetical” leader of the Liberals.
    If he keeps this up, he just may end up in 3rd or 4th place.

  32. I probably should not comment if I ever want to go to Canada fishing for walleye anymore: customs would probably reject me. After all, I’m probably deemed dangerous with my fishing rod, non free-range beef jerky and free minded opinions on matter like these. Just saying.

  33. Socialists are delusional. Jack and Gilles Canada will require more and more tax money to fund Utopian visions but, at the same time, they insist that industry must not bend a single blade of grass or damage the wings of even one butterfly. It amazes me that anyone can take them seriously. Ignatieff and the Liberals should have known better than to hitch their wagon to those fools (Stop listening to the progressive media and intellectuals). Oh, well, Michael wanted to be famous – it looks like infamy may have to suffice.

  34. This whole entire election is a slow motion train wreck.
    All harper needs to do is sit back keep his mouth shut unless required and coast to a majority these guy’s are hilarious to watch ignatieff looks like a blindman who is drunk and his handlers are painting a clown face on him and put dunce hat on him got him drunk and blind folded him and are taking turns pushing him around a circle he is in the middle and one pushes him to the next so on and so on this guy is a spineless nerd who get’s botox!!
    At least jack layton sounds coherent but is still spewing his commie garbage i am sorry if this is offencive but i don’t want my prime minister limping up on a stage with a cane and yammering on to the world about how terrible we are as a country if you want the world to laugh at you and your country just put wacko jacko in charge but i guess he is better that the lizard may , how much of a vegan diet can she be on she is like more than just big boneded lol!! harper is the right man for the job for now .
    We NEED a swing way to the right here in canada soemoen that will slash the govornment by at least 50% and return those tax dollars back to people.

  35. “I’ve said I’m willing to work with all political parties. All. Repeat All parties in the House.”
    Sure, and that’s why he announced months before the budget was introduced that he would vote against it. If that’s his definition of “with”, I can only imagine what “against” is.

  36. I will also say this if harper does not get a majority or if the three stooges for govornment i will be pushing for a split of ontario and separating canada into two halves ontario west and ontario east that will be the new canada and screw the rest of the country …then what we should do is build up our military and invade eastern canada slaughter who ever does not want to join western canada and create a republic and start all over again !!! lol.

  37. Ignatieff is a dictator, pure and simple.
    Democratic leaders do not whip votes, especially on private member bills, which have traditionally been free votes.
    Ignatieff has no respect for parliamentary tradition or democracy.

  38. paul in calgary,
    There are a million trolls on this site just hoping to read a comment like you just made about splitting up Canada. I’m sure you’re joking, but please refrain, just the same.

  39. I thought that the Liberal campaign was going off the rails for a couple of weeks now, but I didn’t think it would ever get this bad. Iggy has basically conceded defeat to both the Conservatives and the NDP. I would be very surprised at this point if the NDP doesn’t become the official opposition.

  40. Paul in Calgary’s comments are no worse than some of the comments on the CBC’s or the Globe and Mail’s websites. At least when I read Paul’s comment I know he is not serious, as opposed to some of the vile stuff over on the left.

  41. M.Peltier >
    “Democratic leaders do not whip votes”
    Nor do they impose draconian gun legislation on a free and law abiding people.
    The Liberals fight for the rights of criminals and criminalize the victims. Ignatieff made his stand by whipping his party into voting to make Canadians defenceless against the Liberal onslaught of domestic & imported criminals.
