I think that raises another question that needs to be answered first: Is there enough of a difference between living and working in the US vs Canada, that it should raise flags in the first place?
What I mean by that is, would someone who has adapted to living and working in a society of one country be the right fit for leading the society of an entirely different country?
I'm trying to imagine a Canadian attempting to run for the oval office in the US, and it's pretty hard to picture. Should we really be so cavalier about the requirements of the top job in Canada that we're willing to vote for someone from a different country?
(These are just meant to be questions, btw. While it's no secret that I've historically been a Conservative supporter, these questions of Ignatief's nationality are going to be fairly prevalent during the election. It makes sense to try to discuss them rationally, before the propaganda machines kick in.)
