Its going to be so easy to pick him apart, especially in Quebec.

Michael Ignatieff gaffes:

"Quebeckers walk around with this fantasy of how different they are, but they are just North Americans who speak French...They take the minor difference and magnify it."

"....a simple majority of 50 per cent plus one would not give "legitimacy," in Ignatieff's own choice of words, for the founding of a new country.
"There have to be rules in this business," Ignatieff said. "We have to have clarity. Why? Because we want to avoid civil war, and I'm very confident we will avoid it."

Ignatieff, the former head of the Carr Centre for Human Rights at Harvard's Kennedy School, said he wasn't "losing sleep" over civilian casualties in Lebanon in the war between Israel and Hezbollah.
