Michael Ignatieff has a "sole"mate

Yes, he is a complete doormat to Stephen Harper. They were made for each other.

Iggy's caving in is not only regrettable but also breaking the trust with NDP and BQ, which is even more deplorable. Can he ask them for support ever again? I do not think so. Very prominent and elder statesmen like Jean Chretien and Ed Broadbent helped shape the coalition deal. All this went out of the window now thanks to Iggy.

Justifications are being given that the majority of Canadians supported the budget. Hey Iggy, did you provide an alternative? Instead of working with other opposition leaders he chose to be a doormat to Stephen Harper. I am not an NDPer and I definitely do not support the BQ’s position on separation, but the deal was made in good faith and that good faith has now been violated. If fellow Parliamentarians can no longer trust Iggy, then how can Canadians trust him?

Iggy is good at wielding a knife. He knifed Dion in the back to get appointed as leader and then he knifed the coalition deal because he wanted power on his terms only, no sharing with anyone. The Coalition was the only fair hope to get rid of Harper government at this time.

Now, Iggy's knife wielding became so good that he has thrust one into his own chest. Good for you Iggy.

Michael Ignatieff’s Baggage

Michael Ignatieff's baggage is getting heavier and heavier. His shoulders and head must ache.

The man was born with a silver spoon in his mouth. He spent most of his adult life outside of Canada. He simply does not connect with the Canadian public. He spent most of his working life in an academic environment where he seemed to have been closer to neo-cons than to progressives. He supported the Iraq war at the onset. He supported torture and made statements to that effect in 2004. Since then, he has tried to retract but has he really changed?

He fully supported the Afghanistan war and he still does. If he becomes Prime Minister, would he ever pull out of Afghanistan? Does not look like it.

He was not elected leader but appointed by the Liberal caucus.

Then he gave unconditional support to the rogue government of Israel to carry on its recent slaughter in Gaza. He showed no sensitivity whatsoever to the plight, death and destruction of women, children and innocent citizens in Gaza.

Now he is propping up the Harper government only asking Harper to provide updates on his stimulus package every term. Sounds like a professor asking his students to submit their mid-term assignments.

This is also known as Dion syndrome, propping up the Harper government and rolling over on non-confidence motion after non-confidence motion. This should do Ignatieff in. There was a hope that if he worked with the NDP on the coalition he may actually learn something. That hope is gone. Michael Ignatieff is no leader.
