"Michael Ignatieff: He didn't come back for you.” - So, he came back for whom???

Anyone who believes any politician is for you is nothing but a brainless dummy. Do you think Steven Harper is for you? Politicians all want power, fame and fortune. Ignatieff is like that; Jack Layton is like that and even Steven Harper is like that. So, what is the BIG deal that Michael Ignatieff didn’t come back for you??

A better question is “who” ask Ignatieff to come back. He likes the US. He is out of Canada for decades. He attacked the Canadian way of life. If he were not born in Canada, he probably would qualify to stay here permanently. He has no reason to come back. So, why and who persuaded him?

The answer is that he was sold on the idea that all Liberal leaders except one (at that time) would eventually become the Canadian Prime Minister! So, now you know that he didn’t come back for you. He came back for himself.

It’s more intriguing as to who did the persuasion. The Liberal party was secretly looking for a new party leader when they found out they chose the wrong guy - Dion – to succeed Paul Martin. The most qualified person, who is available at that time, was Bob Rae, a former provincial premier with both federal and provincial statesman like political experience. So, why would anyone want an outsider to lead the Liberal party?

Bob Rae defeated the then Liberal provincial premier David Peterson to form the Ontario Government. After he himself was later defeated, he decided to join the federal Liberal party as a NDP deflector. Unfortunately, by then David Peterson also has gained considerably backroom power and he would not let the Liberal party be lead by a former enemy. The rest is, as they say, history!

Steven Harper would be prime minister for as long as David Peterson is around. The funny thing is neither Ignatieff or Bob Rae would ever win an election even if David Peterson does not exist! The reason is behind every successful man there is a great woman. Take a look at their spouses and decide for yourself. Who is more graceful?

So, Steven Harper, don’t insult my intelligence. No one is for me. You are obviously NOT. You should thank David Peterson for your good fortune. Come to think of it, may be David Peterson is a closet Tory.
