Michael Ignatieff: Pick Me

 
Donkey- Shrek
Over the past year in the U.S. the Obama administration has hired "CZARS"  and Special Envoys with very little success and is viewed by many outside the Democratic Party as a patronage appointment for friends in high places.

The Liberals farther up north, still in pursuit  some pixie dust from the magic of  Hope & Change  in the U.S. have repeated at almost every opportunity for our government to hire a Special Envoy to head our priorities in Afghanistan, Auto Bailout and now Haiti . The meaning of accountability for the Liberals appears to hire former Liberals, set up a committee, issue reports, transfer money to other levels of government.

Also on Monday, the Liberals issued a news release attacking the government for declining to appoint a former prime minister as champion for Haiti. -Chronicle Herald
Is Michael Ignatieff  truly upset about our Prime Minister refusing to hire previous Liberals Paul Martin or Jean Chretien as the Special Envoy to Haiti?  Is this a part of the revised employment plan to help Canadians in dealing with this global recession?

Why does Michael want us to inflict on the Haitian people more suffering, by hiring former Liberals?  Does he think the business relationship they have developed will aid in the reconstruction efforts? The previous Liberal elders were unable or unwilling to prioritize in negotiating debt forgiveness for Haiti while they were in power.

Michael while you were thinking thoughts, busy planning your next publicity stunt to embarass our country and our government, some MP's in the government were busy at DOING the WORK that needed to be done. In February 2010, one of those member(s) of parliament helped negotiate a deal without the assistance of a Special Envoy.  His name was Jim Flaherty.

Is this the latest trial balloon for the Liberals? Undermine the efforts in Haiti?

Haiti was rated as the poorest nation in the western hemisphere even before the earthquake struck.
Canada's finance minister announced at a summit in Iqaluit, northern Canada, that Group of Seven countries planned to cancel Haiti's bilateral debts.Jim Flaherty said he would encourage international lenders to do the same.Some $1.2bn (£800m) of Haiti's debts to countries and international lending bodies has already been cancelled.
"We are committed in the G7 to the forgiveness of debt, in fact all bilateral debt has been forgiven by G7 countries vis-a-vis Haiti," Mr Flaherty said at the end of the two day gathering of finance ministers. - BBC News
After returning from your photo-ops, just visiting the Vancouver Olympics for a weekend, what are the alternatives to the March Budget, where are your plans to help cut spending, reign in the Federal Deficit, exit plan for Afghanistan and will you introduce them for debate in parliament for review by all parties?

OR

Just repeat  "It is not my budget, it is Harper's Budget" as you did in 2009? Your leadership numbers have tanked since you began these stunts. Running Radio or Youtube spots will not repair your reputation or fortune at the ballot box. Doing the real work you were elected to do will.

Canadians are much smarter than you and your party give them credit.

Mike,

Thank you, after reading some of the articles by the apologists (MSM) declaring the Liberals have developed some policies @#@#$%#$%#$%^!

These are recycled red book promises sprinkled with a few issues of the day.

Our democracy required the opposition to act in a responsible manner, challenge and offer alternatives for debate in parliament,

CS, that's correct the liberals don't have a policy; they take from others dress it up and their media handles the rest.
No wonder the media are so 'bitchy' they want their money for the hard work they are doing in keeping the liberals and coalition parties alive.
That is why they want the prime minister out of the way.

They are tired of taking the heat for the liberals which they deserve.

You mentioned Czars, do you know the first Russian leader to name himself Czar? Ivan the terrible. I watched a doc on him last night and it was very interesting. The man was a special brand of evil. I wonder if he employed any Ignatieff's to work in his torture chambers? It could explain Iggy's stance on torture.

Ignatieff the Terrible? I'll have to make that a title for a blog post in the near future...

Janine Krieber pointed out in her letter on Facebook regarding his views and writings. Her CV is much more credible than his in the area of human rights and military.

She is a prof 18+ yers employed by our National Defense at RMC.
Terrorism and anti-terrorism, guerrilla warfare, counter-insurgency.Political ideologies, international relations.

Janine Krieber says Ignatieff's supporters have not done their homework. They did not read his books, consult his colleagues. They were satisfied that he could be charming at cocktails.

I thought Martin appointed Senator chicken Dallaire as a special envoy to Haiti. That worked out well.

CS, one question for you to ask the G/M.
Why do they hate the prime minister stephen harper so much that they will do anything to ruin him?
