Michael Ignatieff: What's he about? I'm sure there are others like me for whom Michael Ignatieff seems to have arrived so suddenly on the Canadian political scene and now so suddenly he's set to be the next PM! Who is this guy? If he hasn't been here, if he hasn't asked us, how does he have any clue what Canadians want or need? And of course ... with his parachute still virtually flapping in the breeze ... one wonders 'who are his handlers? who parachuted him in? why?' And my personal beef ... Considering that he doesn't know us but seeks to represent us ... ALL of us ... Why was Michael Ignatieff pushing, pressuring to be 'annointed' without any input from any sector of Canadians? To me, that's a dangerous sign that Michael Ignatieff doesn't know or care ... and doesn't feel he has to pay attention to what Canadians think. Does he somehow have it all tied up so tight that it really doesn't matter to him what we think? So who is he? Who are his handlers? Who are his supporters? What does he stand for? Who does he work for? I have no answers, but here are some places to start looking for clues: http://www.mcgill.ca/files/beatty/Ignatieff-Lecture-01-10-05.pdf http://network.nationalpost.com/np/blogs/fullcomment/archive/2008/12/10/218518.aspx
