I like the National Post -- it is a good read, well written, with informative content -- but the Post is certainly not a "Liberal" paper.
So why is the launch of Michael Ignatieff's campaign not only front page news but also the lead OpEd in today's Post? (Both stories are strongly negative; in fact one even denigrated Ignatieff's smile!).
Yes, the story is big news in Canada but for a conservative (and to a degree Conservative) paper one would think page three would do.
Perhaps the Post sees the story as a big one because it foreshadows battles with the current Conservative government to come?

Liberals hate President Bush for liberating the Iraqi people.
Ignatieff loved that decision.
Is it not pretty ironic that liblogs.ca has not had one post about this.
I couldn't laugh any louder.
The National Post has written a number of flattering articles on Bob Rae in the past, including one by David Asper. I expect them to portray Ignatieff negatively because he is Rae's main competition.
From what he has written, I get the impression that Asper just likes Rae - probably not connected to him being a Liberal. I don't think it is anything sinister (like wanting a Liberal leader the Post can attack, although I am sure they want that too) but it is probably not based on wanting what is best for the Liberals either. Just some personal preference, probably based on Asper's own interactions with Rae.
Wasn't it Apser's father that was the Liberal - the son Conservative?
Anon: 7:12 - Harper is PM - Harper wanted to go into Iraq - story is over.
You are everywhere with this crap. Nothing else to do
