Ignatieff pulls plug on Election? What took so long?

How marvelous for us mere mortals to have Mike Ignatieff inform us of what we already knew, that we did not want an election.  To watch him speak the words on television is to watch a man who believes he is enlightening us, when he himself was completely oblivious to the mood of the country when he pulled the plug in Sudbury.  This is the man who despite living outside of Canada for most of his adult life, had the audacity to write a book about how Canadians should feel about their patriotism.  Right, Mike Igniatieff is an expert on why I love my country.  Thanks Mike, but no thanks.  This man has no idea about how Canadians feel about Canada because his roots are fleeting and his adult life was absent from Canadiana.  Just because the Liberal Party has launched their own Sputnik into outer space, doesn't mean that I need jolly ole Rasputin to break news that I knew all along.  That only took four months.  Even Stephane Dion thinks Iggy is slow to react!

  1. More coalition talk. He thinks Canadians want Harper replaced, just not through an election. He's setting the stage for another coup attempt. I guess the electorates reaction the last time out didnt register with him. Perhaps they believe Canadians have had time to get used to the idea.

  2. Anonymous, that's exactly what I inferred from Ignatieff's comments. He's going to test the waters on the left, to see if there's enough interest to make another attempt to take over the gov't by means of a coalition. For a man said to be intelligent, he sure doesn't learn from experience!

    By the way, where is Thomas Mulcair these days?
