Ignatieff; Our New Attack Dog

Now, during this last leadership convention, i actively supported Stephane Dion. I believed that he had the best vision for the future of Canada, and I still do. Michael Ignatieff was always my second choice, he always seemed a highly intelligent man, who had a clear vision of Canada's place in the world. This week, in question period, I began to see what what many others in the party saw in him, a warrior. Dion looked very good, and prime ministerial in the house over the past week; his questions purposeful and direct. I especially liked, on Wednesday, his choice to, after Harper dodged the same question, instead address the question to Stockwell Day. Iggy, on the other hand looked like a fighter. When the minister for public safety dodged a question, rather than simply rephrasing it, backing down, or asking someone else Ignatieff said what we've all been thinking: "the government has become accustomed, whenever it is in a tight corner, to blame a previous administration. Those members are the government. When are they going to start to act like one and take responsibility for their conduct?" Simply amazing. This is what our party needs, someone to call the Conservatives on there BS. I maintain that Dion was the best choice for party leader, but dahm, Ignateiff is fun to watch.
