Sure, it's my opinion, but is it really that hard to see why many people end up with this opinion.

Oh no, you are completely wrong. Igantieff intended to return to Canada even
before those Liberal bagmen paid him a visit at Harvard. Canada was his home and after being away for 30 years he missed it terribly. Its just a huge coincidence that they (the Liberal moneymen) showed up at the same time as he was preparing to move anyways.
I personally know someone who knows someone who knows someone who knows Mikey and let me tell you this... he absolutely HATED pretending he was an American while he was down there teaching and he couldn't get out of Cambridge and England fast enough (damn Brits and there high faluting ways and all that).
You won't find a truer Canadian than Mikey. Don't let anyone fool you into thinking that the only reason he came back to Canada was just to run the country. Thats just Conservative propaganda. Mikey's here because he knows that just by being here makes Canada a better place! Three cheers for Mikey!!! Ra Ra Ra!!!!
