Winnipeg Sun:
Quebecers need not swallow their pride in Quebec to be proud Canadians and the Liberal Party is their best ticket to federal power, party leader Michael Ignatieff said yesterday in a campaign-style pitch to the province.
Speaking to party faithful in Laval, Ignatieff billed himself as a "uniter" of Canadians, in sharp contrast to the "politics of division" practised by Prime Minister Stephen Harper.
Saying it's not a contradiction to be a proud Quebecer and a proud Canadian, he urged Quebecers to abandon the belief the Bloc Quebecois is best to represent their interests on the national stage.
"We want Quebec to stop thinking the only thing in Ottawa it can do is oppose, oppose, oppose," he said. "We want Quebecers to be back in government where they belong and we think the Liberal Party is the best ticket back into government."

Now I understand his unequivocal support for compulsary bilingual signs. He's given up on the west and is out for an eastern majority.
Being a proud Quebecer and a proud Canadian might not be a contradiction, but it certainly is uninformed.
