They would have had a much better chance with someone like Gerard Kennedy( at least he's from the West) in the lead until they have Justin Trudeau groomed for the position - then watch out Conservatives. That will make for exciting politics - can't wait. I can’t believe the Liberals have this man as their leader!

He doesn't hold a candle to Pearson in my humble opinion and they are "Decades" apart. The bottom line is, the only reason we will be trudging to the polls, is so that Ignatieff and Layton can try to improve their seating arrangements in Ottawa. Ignatieff, in my opinion, is a "Place Holder" for Justin Trudeau. If Ignatieff is the best they have to fill this job I will wait for the real thing before I rethink Liberal. Ignatieff is no Pearson.

Lol lol Well .. "politics" aside .. Canada's 14th Prime Minister & Nobel Peace Prize Laureate .. Lester B. Pearson lived outside of Canada for over 20 years and I don't recall anyone ever holding that against him. Pearson studied history at Oxford University .. Ignatieff worked as a historian and author .. and held senior academic posts at Oxford, Cambridge and Harvard. And .. both Pearson & Ignatieff served Canada as diplomats when they lived in the UK. Our world today is "global" in nature .. and several thousand Canadians currently .. and in the future .. will spend a portion of their careers in governmental postings or holding postions in NGOs, companies or educational institutes outside of Canada. In my opinion .. having spent a portion of one's life outside our country broadens a person's world vision and should not preclude any Canadian from serving as an MP, Senator or Prime Minister later in their lives. Having a leader such as Michael Ignatieff who has experienced the "global lifestyle" is a very postive attribute. Hmm .. biggest joke of the decade, eh .. Lol lol
