I am interested to see why people in the CoU think Ignatieff is a slimeball, unless the AntiAmericanism is worse than I thought in the CoU. He has firm ideas and seems to be fairly level headed - for me I guess its is stance on the War in Iraq and Afghanistan. Not because of his view but because he hasnt done what I would expect from any Liberal in that position and denounce that position.
And to say he is a bigger slimeball than Rae - wow there are serious differences between our two parts of the country. Ignatieff has positions on everything even if you dont agree with him - I agree he isnt the most grassroots but to call him a slimeball seems a smidge harsh.
Anyways its a mute point now - Dion won (wow, just barely by less than 100 votes over Kennedy after the 2nd). And Kennedy was able to bring more supporters than ever thought, almost 100% - just amazing.
Anyways, congrats to Liberals for a very entertaining bit of TV (my question is why was the vote today and not tomorrow - would it not make more sense to start Sat evening).
Congrats to Mr Stephane Dion - I will give him his credit - he was a strong fighter for Quebec in Canada against alot of odds in that province.
I have my doubts what he brings and while I dont know alot about his political record I am sure he has one which is always vulnerable in an election.
