Canadian Politics

The events of the past week a prorogue of the parliament, coalition of the unlikely, and now leader by default what’s next.

Well let me tell you Bob Rae did the right thing stepping out of the race for Interim and the Leadership of the Liberal party.  There are too many people who still hold a grudge back to the rae days of the late 90’s even though that strategy saved alot of those affected there lively hoods.

Michael Ignatieff is the perfect person to guide the Liberal Party through the time they need to rebuild in opposition my guess this will be another 5 years remember the last oppostion stint Mulroney ran the country for 8yrs it seems the Conservatives when they obtain power every 15-20 years lately the party can only hold it for a relatively short period of time .

Ignatieff will never be Prime Minister he will only hold the fort for the upcoming leader that will eventually lead the Liberals back to majority power i am referring to Kennedy and of course Trudeau a very familiar name that will resonate throughout Canada in say 5 years or 2014.

As is stands right now the Liberals are poised for defeat with either Bob or Micheal as leader there are as many people who will not vote for Bob  Rae in Ontario as there would be people who could not consider voting for Micheal Ignatieff either way being Liberal leader right now is a losing proposition and alot of backbench…..
