Seriousness

Jesse:
For my next trick, I want to refer you to this video of Michael Ignatieff talking about the PM's leaked video (h/t).



It's good, it's sober, and I think it's the kind of thing that's going to help a lot. If you want the Coles Notes, and since I know some of us question whether he can deliver a soundbite, here's what I pulled out of a CP news-style-video:

There have always been two Harpers. The real Harper comes out when he thinks he can't be heard

He treats every adversary as an enemy who needs to be destroyed, and you wonder why I can't support him?"
Those aren't the interesting, serious parts. But they're the parts that work on the news.

My conclusion? I think if you're one of the 4.5 people who read this blog you're relatively serious about politics. And I think this video's worth watching and really considering whether Ignatieff is, in fact, worthy of your support.

The new Tory announcement on the massive deficit may provide some easy election points for the libs. Why is it going to equal $102 billion in the next two years, or $70 billion more than the stimulus? Maybe there is some weird program eating up cash that Ignatieff can attack.
