Rumour has it that Liberal leader Mike Ignatieff has been offered a very prestigious job at the University of Toronto, but Iggy has assured us that he is not going to take the job. I for one am ecstatic that Iggy will be staying on as Liberal leader, as the road to a Tory majority is paved with the same bricks that fill Iggy's thick skull. I can say this much with certainty, if they have to spend the 3rd day of their blockbuster cross-country tour denying their leader's exit strategy, Etobicoke Lakeshore you have a problem.
The bigger question, who leaked the story that Iggy had been offered this job? This smells like Team Rae.
Funny how it's the Chretien-Martin War all over again.

This took place against John Turner regarding the confusion on the daycare announcement during the campaign. (Liberal on Liberal)
ReplyDeleteWe are witnessing what the CTV talking heads have said for months. (I used to be Rae's loyalists but lately it has expanded to others who were considered Ignatieffs)
Now all bets are off as many Liberals in unsafe seats are looking to save their jobs in the upcoming election.
How many did NOT want Dion to visit? See a pattern in the Liberal Express trip yet?
How many of these stops are winnable seats, recapturing old seats, new seats in Bloc, CPC, NDP strongholds?
Is this an example of picking low lying fruit or save the furniture tour?
So it looks like Traverse broke the story, which Iggy denies. Jim has many sources within the Liberal Party. I wonder who leaked the story to him?
ReplyDeleteWhether this academic position is available to Ignatieff or not - I am fascinated with the fact that this is occurring during his summer of rediscovery of the Canadian soul. I thought he was leader of the Opposition, not a professor applying for a new "gig". With friends like these who needs enemies. Cheers.
