The whole sordid spectacle mirrored the disgusting disrespectful treatment of Barack Obama the first Black U.S. President only instead of not being born in America Mr. Ignatieff had the audacity to teach at probably the most prestigious learning facility in the world.
It mirrors the small minded Conservative notion that if a Canadian accept’s a job outside Canada and has a child while living and working outside of Canada that child will not be a Canadian citizen.
The constant insult's, lies, half-truths, character assassination, demonization by the NeoCons was classic ultra-right modus-operandi everything from words taken out of context over a lifetime of teaching to pictures of Michael in battle fatigues in Iraq ( all lies).
Mr. Ignatieff no one including Jesus Christ could survive the amount of money and unbridled hate that was unleashed on you, and many Canadians not only stood by and watched it unfold but many even joined in on an unfair un-canadian exercise that one day many will be ashamed off, as well as regret.
Sadly these negative NeoCon tactics worked so well on the Canadian voters that the whole of the political centre was destroyed along with Mr. Ignatieff and we are left with the centre left opposition and an ultra right dictatorship.
I find it strange that we have truth in advertising laws, but when it comes to politics and campaigning the truth is the exception not the rule and there are literally no consequences for the ringleader other than victory and total power.
It’s funny I always thought Canadians were to smart or maybe to decent to fall for the same sleazy tactics we see play themselves out in America every day, but obviously I was mistaken.
