And that photo of him jumping across the floor and shaking Harper's hand for more war in Afghanistan was priceless!<br /><br />Running again on national childcare when Libs first promised it in 1993, and after 2 majority govts, surpluses, etc. etc.<br /><br />So Iggy as a lib running on the left was just unbelievable and thus it showed him as shallow and not be trusted.susansmithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02573558646874765432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34047704.post-82622620348085849272011-04-22T19:29:18.874-04:002011-04-22T19:29:18.874-04:00Well, I don't think the NDP will make that kin...Well, I don't think the NDP will make that kind of break through, though I would like to see it. But either way it is ironic that leftist (within and without the LPC) have been warning of the disaster that Ignatieff would be for the Liberal party. If the Liberal Party has any hope of rebuilding they need some time in the wilderness so they can do some serious soul-searching and find out what they really stand for. And if by some strange occurrence the NDP really did break through and become the official opposition, the landscape in Canada would dramatically change and it could be the end of the LPC.Kirbycairohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17528654183160305877noreply@blogger.com
