Ignatieff to Run For Liberal Leadership
| 11/13/2008 | Posted by Patti under Canadian Politics |
Michael Ignatieff has announced his intention to run for the Liberal Leadership. He ran and lost the last time in a contest that was bitterly fought with former NDP Premier of Ontario Bob Rae. In the last race Ignatieff had recently returned to the country after many years away in high profile teaching positions. I objected to his leadership on that basis the last time.
Since then he has twice won the trust of the people of his riding and served admirably in the House of Commons. He’s a very intelligent man who could offer much to the party. At this point, I’m looking forward to how his run goes. If he manages to acquit himself well, he and the party may just have my support.
