Susan Delacourt recalls the last time Messrs. Ignatieff and Harper were locked in a room together.

    Michael Ignatieff. Not a leader. He probably does quite well at non-Canadian games like cricket. Michael Ignatieff, just visiting.

    I guess Ignatieff knows he was filmed and taped and probably had his finger prints taken, his iris scanned, and DNA sample collected for futher testing on his true lineage.

    Well that comment really adds to the discussion.. I know you think you are being cute and funny but it it only reflects your admission that you lack intelligence to bring something other than veiled intolerance to the conversation.

      I share your outrage, Bonnie. How dare he debase a blog post about the leader of the opposition losing at checkers. To his own child, no less. For shame WDM. For shame.

      By the way Bonnie, care to share an example of something intelligent that adds to the discussion? Show WDM how it's done?

        You could specialize in reading PMO generated talking points member statements at 2pm each day.

          Nah, I'm a better heckler, and I can bang a desktop with my hand like nobody's business. Wait, do they still do that?

            No. That went out when the t.v cameras came in. Apparently clapping looked and sounded more civilized – that was perhaps back when they cared about that kind of thing.

    Iggy spent 5 years in the US and Harper's building up his US time one interview at a time and of course, we could add his speeches at American right wing think tanks where puts down his own country.
