Ignatieff has moved to change the people around him. Ian Davey has been replaced by Peter Donolo as Chief of Staff. Donolo is best known for shepherding former Prime Minister Jean Chretien through his dark days as an underdog Liberal leader.

I see the move as being smart on Ignatieff’s part. It is taking him some time to learn but he is learning how much he needs substance and experience over friendship and loyalty in the circle around him. It has been apparent for some time now that he has been floundering as he listened to those around him. Those around him were clearly drawing on their lack of experience.

Having said that, one task the Liberals have accomplished is they have truly started to be the Official Opposition instead of propping up the government at every turn. That job has fallen to the socialists (NDP) and the separatists (Bloc).

With the Conservatives going after Layton and blaming him for the protestors which took over the visitors gallery in the House of Commons earlier this week, it makes me wonder how much crap the NDP will take before they decide it is time to bring Harper down. Although, he’ll need to think long and hard before bringing him down as that may be exactly what Harper is after considering that the polls are looking in his favour right now.

Donolo’s arrival in the Liberal leader’s office may leave Harper wanting an election sooner than later before Donolo has a chance to start turning those polling numbers around. There is hope for getting rid of this government yet.
