How many instances of something is required before it can be called a trend? The 'something' in question here is horrible policy and/or statements in order to pander to Quebec delegates. First it is opening the Consitution to recognize Quebec as a nation (but nudge, nudge, a meaningless definition of nation) and now it is declaring Qana a war crime. Remember that CPC memo that said Michael Ignatieff tends to put his foot in his mouth? What do you call it when the foot-in-mouth disease is strategy?

I don’t believe it is a strategy. I believe it is poliical inexperience. I will admit that I am concerned as a person who thinks he is our second best option.

Why didn’t Israel just make the prisoner swap though?

I’d go one step further and call it “life inexperience”.
He’s a professor, able to say whatever he wants, protected by his “academic freedom”.
Not exactly a bastion of accountability.
And, he’s been there most of his adult life.
Now he’s parachuted into a world where literally every syllable is scrutinized.
I almost feel sorry for him.
Almost.
He’s in for a rough ride. And so are the Libs if he comes out on top.

This should not be chalked up to political inexperience. He is exposing a character flaw by flip-flopping in an attempt to appease the Quebec vote. Political experience wouldn’t help his underlying flaw, it would only allow him to dissimulate better.

The man likes to be all things to all people. Very Liberal of him. :-)
Anyway, he does still have time to firm up his positions…
