This man is not Michael Ignatieff

Meet Gordon Smith, director at the University of Victoria’s Centre for Global Studies. He’s a former deputy minister of foreign affairs and represented this country at meetings of the G8 and G7.

And judging from this interview, he’s the fellow who Stephen Harper was going after when Stephen Harper thought he was going after Michael Ignatieff.

Mr. Smith defends his Canadianness to both CP and the Globe.
