There is a suggestion that Michael Ignatieff should convert to Buddhism because the Dalai Lama supports environmental protection and Iggy may follow his beliefs. Why not? After the way he has messed up on environment issues, Tar Sands, and international issues his chances of becoming the next Prime Minister look grim. However, if he does convert to Buddhism there is a chance, given his high profile, that he may be next in line for Dalai Lama.
To qualify to become Dalai Lama he not only needs to convert to Buddhism, but he should also live in Tibet for a few years or as a monk in Burma. He may learn a lot about life and develop leadership qualities manifolds better.
Susannah, thanks for the link. It is common. Harper attacks Ignatieff and Ignatieff attacks Harper. Then Layton attacks them both and gets attacked by both. Politicians screwing around like this is very costly as nation's business is put on the backburner.
