Ignatieff’s Shadowing Stephen Harper

Haroon Siddiqui, The Toronto Star | Full Story | On just about every one of the issues mentioned, a majority of Canadians have been disapproving of Harper, according to polls. Yet on the one poll that counts—party preference—his Conservatives have not lost much ground. There was some slippage over the proroguing issue but not enough to make a big difference.

That’s a killer verdict on Michael Ignatieff.

Explanations/excuses have been proffered—his lack of political antennae due to his long absence from Canada, and his political inexperience, exacerbated, first, by his sudden ascension to the Liberal throne, through backroom machinations against Stéphane Dion and, second, by an amateurish staff (one of whom, Rocco Rossi, having abandoned that ship, now wants to be our mayor).

But Ignatieff’s problem is more fundamental.

While many Canadians do not like what Harper stands for, what does Ignatieff stand for? Little or nothing. >>
