Fight the real enemy

Adam Radwanski debunks one complaint about Michael Ignatieff and substitutes a better one.

Consistency, then, is not the issue. The issue is that Ignatieff is still mouthing the same platitudes he was mouthing back in January, when his leadership was barely a month old. That may change in the fall, or whenever an election campaign beckons ... For now, though, one gets the sense that Ignatieff still thinks it’s enough to simply promise not to do what Stephane Dion would have done. That should concern everyone - not just Albertans - much more than where he happens to be when he makes his comments, because not doing anything means leaving the decision to others.

In the meantime, someone’s uploaded a couple bits from Ignatieff’s emphatically enunciated stumping at the Stampede this weekend.
