this is why it's so easy to ferret out the filler/shill/fake-con type motivation; they can't stand that most of us are non-partisan, independents who think for ourselves.

neither loving nor hating Ignatieff myself just a thought about your "lack of Canadian experience" comment.

please define Canadian experience? a lot of ppl think it is the sanitized pale skinned Euro version which is an *import of settlers to an land that was described as "empty" even though souls lived and thrived there; what about the oppressed "surplus population" relegated to backwaters and untenable land, raped and murdered as children in assimilation schools (aka residential schools)? or the African slaves traded by grey nuns? or Africville's short existence? come on.

and unprecedented? dude as i suggested previously this whole country is founded on that very precedent: the immigrant bringing his/her skill and ability (for free) to this country. that a Canadian like Ignatieff, who was born here, could go travel the world and bring back that worldly experience is double the benefit to us. there are (day old) new Canadians who are immigrants with lifetimes of experience that they are willing to share with us; we're luckier for it.

"inasmuch as you have done it unto the least of these..." and "G-d is no respecter of persons"... and knowing to do good but not doing it...

although not a Christian (but seriously considering Abraham's way) i do expect Christ-like behaviour of Christians including the self-defining (as Christian) minority representational head of this country. the "fruits" of their behaviour is what guides me.

although i am leery about Ignatieff it is refreshing that he can joke about himself with a sincerity that's lost on other politicos.

wiki info may be skewed ofttimes but so are the history books which are written by the victors: same diff. by your lights you are enlightened is a wise saying. relying on one source of info is unwise; but it can help in a pinch.
