Awww! Iggy, You Still There?
It's the honourable and stalwart thing to do. No procrastinating, no more introspection, enough of semantics and promises. Bring down the Conservatives, and do it now! They're untrustworthy, incapable, blundering pseudo-lawmakers, who have plunged Canada into a deep recession, brought the country an intolerable debt load, and made us the shame of the G20 advanced countries of the world. Canada is slowly sinking into national insolvency....
Egad! What's this? The International Monetary Fund claims Canada is set to lead the developed world in its budding global recovery? Naw! "The recovery has started", said chief economist with the IMF, Olivier Blanchard: "In most countries, growth will be positive for the rest of the year, as well as in 2010." And Canada's economy, he said, is set to expand by 2.1% in 2010, the highest rate of all developed countries.
Um, nice. And thanks for the vote of confidence.
Too bad, entirely too bad it isn't shared by the opposition parties in the House of Commons. You know, all those elected Members of Parliament from the various political parties whom common sense and commitment to the electorate and to the country's well-being might lead one to expect they could all pull together for maximum effectiveness? No matter.
We're doing all right. Doesn't look as though the leader of the Official Opposition is, though. He's been opposed, most unfortunately by his now-resigned, morally wounded Quebec lieutenant. And whither goeth the Liberals' Quebec advisers, there withers on the delicate vine of opportunity, the Liberals' approval rating in la Belle Province.
Mr. Ignatieff is playing it close to his sweaty vest for the moment. Although there was that little throwaway about Denis Coderre having to face "consequences" dare he further injure Liberal unity. Ha-ha. And here we were under the impression that it was Mr. Ignatieff himself who was responsible for the sudden disjuncture of said unity, with many sensible Liberals unwilling to commit political suicide alongside their indomitable leader.
"The leader of the Opposition is flailing around trying to justify an election nobody wants for a reason nobody understands on a policy that nobody's heard of", said Prime Minister Stephen Harper, neatly summing up most of the voting public's perverse misunderstanding of Liberal leader Michael Ignatieff's stunning master plan to bring the Liberals back to government under his unerring leadership.

That, of course was ancient history, when he was still a proud American. Now he's a Canadian and those incautious statements issued when he might not have dreamed of aspiring to the command and control of the Canadian government are downright inconvenient. And by the bye, those targeted assassinations are just what is taking place in the mountainous border regions between Afghanistan and Pakistan.
