You gotta love these Liberal party guys.Failed election? Failed coalition? Failed leader? New temporary leader? Polls say Canada isn't in the mood for a coalition? Economy's the most important thing? We need a stable government, where everyone works together?
To hell with that. Charge!
Michael Ignatieff began his tenure as Liberal leader with a blunt challenge to Stephen Harper: change your divisive, ruthlessly partisan ways or we'll bring you down.
Just an hour after being named interim party leader Wednesday, Ignatieff declared he's prepared to topple the minority Conservatives and try to form a coalition government if he's not satisfied with the coming federal budget.
Incidentally, what is it with this guy's name? I'm not making fun of his handle, but I've noticed a subtle shift in the last couple of months. When I first heard of him a few years back, people were pronouncing his named like it's spelled: IG-NAH-TEEF. Lately it's being pronounced IG-NATCH-EFF.
I guess they polled it and found it more hip. Or something.
