It is official, after the complete ineffectiveness of the campus tour, Thinkapalooza, summer tour, and Open Mike to make any dent in public opinion in 2010; Iggy is preparing his next fruitless venture. As a Tory pundit, I really enjoy Iggy's little 3 hour tours. The Iggomaniac gives us lots to talk about, and his attempts to be act like a "regular Canadian" are comical. I am very excited, and I hope he makes a stop in Vancouver. I would really enjoy attending one of comical catastrophes. Iggy pretending to be Canadian, now that's entertaining (and not in a complimentary way). The guy is nothing if not persistent, which is fantastic for those of us who enjoy reveling in his failure.
Nothing wrong with dropping of your resume and building a network for his next career move on the taxpayers dime.
ReplyDeleteDonolo did give this advice if he was in charge he would put Iggy on a bus and he would be not be wasting his time in Ottawa.
It does make sense to get a lay of the land what is real vs what the EDA tell you.
Him showing up will boost the local ridings. He may also find some more candidates that will actually run under their banner.

ReplyDeleteAnd the party gets him out of Ottawa and away from where he can do any more damage to the brand by his waffling demands and threats.
The best thing for Ignatieff is to go on another road trip. The media will ignore him after the first day and the public during the whole tour.
ReplyDeleteLeaders shouldn't go out and talk to "ordinary people". They should stay cloistered in the offices and merely wave from their limo. I applaud PM Stephen HArper for his pride and the way he keeps his office lofty.
