Who is Michael Ignatieff
Canada Free Press ^ | Thursday, January 19, 2006 | Judi McLeod

Meet Michael Ignatieff, the man some claim is the inevitable replacement for an outgoing Prime Minister Paul Martin. The departure of Martin is imminent because if Canadian voters don’t get him on Monday, frustrated Liberal powerbrokers will.

On paper, intellect Ignatieff, who seems to have moved to the Liberal front lines from out of the mists, is "a well-known author, broadcaster and scholar".

If he comes off a bit like royalty, he originates from royalty, Russian royalty.

[Hard to believe that in one generation, a family that fled the tyranny of Bolshevik Russia would turn to the strategy of appeasement. Whether or not Michael Ignatieff makes it to public office as the rookie Liberal MP representing Etobicoke-Lakeshore, he is destined to take a prominent place among Canadians. In Canada, will the sound of the goose-stepping Russian Red Army be heard just over the horizon?

Meanwhile, the Liberals need a replica replacement for the beleaguered Paul Martin. One who powerbrokers can be sure will work closely on a pro-United Nations, anti-American agenda.

Some contend they have found it in a man called Michael Ignatieff.]

Good. . .thought-provoking - if not a bit depressing - analysis.

More than a shame to see Canada choose to fly and fall, 'Left'. (Of course, onwinged-feet. . .how many here in America choose the same. . .)

I thought the conservatives were winning in Canada? How old is Michael Ignatieff?

"I am not sure what to make of Michael Ignatieffs campaign."

Not that I have any proof but ...
If you've read Ann Coulter's "Treason", consider Michael Ignatieff's expressed anti-Ukrainian bigotry & related openly pro Russian imperialist views in the light of his father - 'famed' WW2 and afterward era Canadian diplomat George - both voicing an identical agenda and being a well-documented friendly contemporary of numerous well-proven Soviet spies from Alger Hiss on down ...

BTW, I know Etobicoke-Lakeshore very well and, if the CPC wins even a single seat in Toronto proper, this will quite likely be the one.
Seemingly there's a "perfect storm" of contempt for Ignatieff blowing in on a host of issues from both the political left and right.

Who is Michael Ignatieff? He is one of the MURDERERS' ROW of Serbophobic hack-jounalists posing as "Harvard faculty" in the Kennedy School of Government!!!!

I met Ignatieff when he was traveling about as part of a panel of a special commisssion that recommended that the bogus Albanian-ruled Kosovo be granted "conditional indpendence"a few years ago. That proposal--to reward KLA genocide against the Serbs with an "independent country"--is now being put forward by the slimy rat Holbrooke and others to our own government and to the "international community".

Canada, our good neighbor to the north, is rapidly sinking into decadence and international fascism. This is clearly shown by its "hate crime" laws against those who oppose the "gay" agenda, and its enforcement of those unjust laws. Electing the "human rightser" Ignaiteff as prime minister would mean the full and overt transformation of Canada into an internaitonal-fascist state, with loss of freedom to its citizens and increasing conflict with the US!

"... Michael is in his 40's..."

Make that 58 as of now ... and if he's not already 'yesterday's man', he's one who very soon will be.

I hope there are enough good and reasoned Canadians to realize their options; and the import of making choices for the best. . .

Canada as a mean, grumpy; thoughtless, misguided, and often bitter friend. ..is one thing. . .

Canada as the 'enemy next door' is another. . .

Unless Harper wins this election with a majority, Canada is in deep trouble. What frightens me about the Canadian Liberals, is that they have an agenda to undermine the sovereignty of other nations via the United Nations. At least two countries are resisting this trend - the US under Bush and Australia under Howard. A world with power centralised in the United Nations is an anti-democratic and horrific prospect - a type of "soviet union" that encompasses the world.

RIGHT! That is part of what I mean when I call the Third Way/New World Order international fascist. The other half of the NWO scheme is joint rule (with a new, much stronger UN) by the cabal of international financiers and the multinational corporations that they control.That is why it is fascist rather than straight communist. But it is INTERNATIONAL fascism, since nationalism of any kind is to be outlawed and severely punished.

The New UN is also to be the headquarters of the New World Religion, to replace Christianity and other historic religions. The "United Religions Initiiatives" is the current form of the fascist New World Religion. Of course, extremist islam, which provides thugs to do the NWO's dirty work, is exempt from that scheme.

Lord have mercy on us!!!!

Well, Harper won, but Ignatieff won his election, too. He is now an MP, and is positioning himself to become the Liberals' leader.

http://www.theglobeandmail.com/servlet/ArticleNews/TPStory/LAC/20060124/IGNATIEFFSB24/TPNational/Canada

Ignatieff has made the transition from Kennedy School hack-journalist Serb-basher to the Hillary Rodham Izetbegovic Khomeini of Canada!!!!
