Because we have in government right now a group of people determined to take Canada away from what it does best - abandoning friends and commitments around the world - because it does not fit the ideological mindset.
That is reason number one for an election - and all four opposition parties will be using that argument - to some degree.
BUT - Ignatieff has to go further down the route he has described - and map out the policy steps needed to get us there.
That will be the differentiator - what makes people think - I want to vote for this party - again...

We need another election because - every day this government stays in power - it drags us - in some incompetent but clandestine manner - away from the path we ought to be taking.
As to who are Canadians - we are the people other people want to be - we are the people that even Americans pretend to be - when they travel outside North America and find the Stars and Stripes causes people to turn away - they look around for a Maple Leaf to wear...
I know - I have seen it happen in many parts of the world.

Clearly something has changed - and I don't think that the loose cannons / party nags like me can take credit for it...

Undecided - 13% - if those folks a) decide and b) get out and vote - they have the numbers to swing this election either way.
The small-L liberals - like me - who are STILL waiting for Michael Ignatieff and his advisers to stop playing peekaboo and roll out those policies - which I THINK may be happening starting this week - unknown number - could be indicating to the pollsters either "undecided" or actually leaning to one of the other parties depending on whether they are in Quebec or ROC...

Just a guess here - but do you have some doubts about Jack's nimbleness and agility on the Beanstalk?

1) That it is appropriate in the current voting climate for a leader making a statement that - dependent upon the election results ad respective seat counts - I as leader of Party X - will determine if I can a) form a government and b) form some sort of arrangement / alliance with other parties whose policy principles correspond with at least some of my own..with the objective of producing stable sound government for this nation for Y number of months...
IF anyone had the cohones to make such a statement - he would get a 10% kick in the polls the next time they reported...

Now - if you have an example where Kady - who does her homework - actually had a fact wrong - and didn't correct it or apologize after - fine - but if you don't - two words for you - Pipe Down!
