- Kelly McParland's advice to Ignatieff: Canada can wait, you should too
-
Liberal leader Michael Ignatieff has taken a beating from some quarters (not least the National Post) over his recent performance. His poll ratings are down, some Liberals are grumbling, and many Canadians are unimpressed at his effort to force an election. Wanting to help, Full Comment invited five pundits to suggest ways in which Mr. Ignatieff could get the upper hand on Prime Minister Stephen Harper. Full Comment editor Kelly McParland offered these tips:
One of the most annoying things about Stephen Harper is that he gets away with it.
He gets away with being partisan. He sticks his thumb on his nose and wiggles his fingers at his opponents, and gets away with it.
He gets away with pretending he's willing to cooperate and compromise in the great Canadian tradition, when he isn't. He gets away talking Conservative tough while ruling unConservative mushy.
