If Iggy Wants To Connect With Canadians...

If it is really important for Ignatieff to connect with Canadians this summer, my advice would be to take up one of our country's popular recreational activities, jet skiing. He should find himself a wetsuit, rent a jet ski, and then invite the national press gallery to come photograph him. Having Canadians see him doing something we all love to do will surely vault him into national prominence and prove to the entire country that he's one of us worthy of leadership. Far be it for the Liberal Party to take the advice of a partisan Tory, but sometimes our warnings are accurate. I remember last September when Iggy announced that it was time for an election; I wrote that they were either bluffing or really stupid. I had some leftards dropping comments saying "you are a Conservative; we should do the opposite of what you think we should do."

How did that election in the fall of 2009 work out for you?
