I hesitantly agree with Iggys un-Dionish position of defending the Alberta Oil sands.
Iggy may have seen the light that the real pollution problem is not in Fort McMurray, but in other major Canadian cities such as Toronto.
There goes the Oil patch hating Liberal vote to the NDP and Greens.
Michael Ignatieff is known supporter of Canada paying into Kyoto. Not to long ago he was slamming the Conservative government for not ratifying the Liberal Kyoto deal of which Prime Minister Harper had said would require such drastic energy cuts it would ruin the Canadian economy. Perhaps Iggy will flip-flop on his illusion of Canada living up to the Liberal Kyoto commitment next.
Where does Iggy now stand on Kyoto after attempting to warm up to the Oil Patch? The last thing we need right now is more Liberals wanting to send our money out of Canada to pay for the 'theory' of Global Warming.
Could Iggy be playing the Liberal bait and switch pre-election plan, like Liberal Red book promise of eliminating the GST?
Just last year Iggy wrote on visiting the oil sands, " I haven't seen anything more exciting or more troubling in my travels this year". I wouldn't be surprised if he also liked "the smell" of oil being extracted from the sand.
Over all I think that Iggy is playing wishy-washy politics to get votes. He is rather good at saying much while saying nothing at the same time, and I believe because of that fact Iggy will framed as the wishy-washy intellect that he is.
Mr. Ignatieff, your intellectual stand on issues is comparable to that of the stand of a wet noodle.
