Liberal Leader Farewell University Tour: Trivial Game Partner & Book Reviewer




The Liberal Leader is embarking on an 11-stop, cross-country tour of colleges and universities, as the first step in a bid to putting his fortunes back on track. The tour kicks off in Halifax, lands in Toronto and Hamilton at mid-week, and will find him in British Columbia by the weekend. Canadians think Michael Ignatieff would make a great trivia game partner and book reviewer!

Is Michael seeking references on his 11-stop cross-country farewell tour, after failing at securing support in his grassroots, improve the finances and standing. Michael is the fourth leader in five years who had to be annointed after being rejected by the grassroots.
 
On the Adult issues including negotiating on the enviroment, unity: Canadians have found the Prime Minister the leader of the pack. If we need a book recommendation Michael is our favourite. It is great to know all that education will come to good use if necessary.




The Liberal Party is unrecognizable as the natural governing party that  the older among us still remember. The rot, as some have observed, actually began to set in as far back as 1957, when John Diefenbaker eked out a minority government in part by virtually shutting the Liberals out of the West. The party became a stranger to everyone west of Ontario; it remains a stranger to this day. In 1984, the same thing happened in the former bastion of Quebec. In the francophone ridings outside of Montreal and (what is now) Gatineau, Brian Mulroney's (Progressive Conservatives swept the province. The Liberals have never recovered. Rather than uniting to bridge Canada's regional political divides, the Liberals engaged in more than twenty year of internal bickering and insurgency, demostrating the ver worst aspects of an elite-driven party estragned from the and indifferent toward the electorate.

The Liberals' great strength in the 1990's was its hold on Ontario and Montreal. During the years of schism on the right, it enabled Chreetien to compile successive minority goverrnents. But in 2004, a reunited Conservative Party began eroding the Liberals' base of support in Ontario. Today, the Liberal Party of Canada commands the political loyalties of voters in the country's three biggest cities - Toronto, Montreal, and Vancouver.  Order the book cheap here.


It is a good thing Michael Ignatieff announced his university tour months after Oktoberfest. Cheers!
