No guts, no glory for Ignatieff and the
Liberals, Column, March 25

Bob Hepburn is right that we Liberals have a lot at stake in the Canada at 150 conference in Montreal. The conference allows us to take the pulse of Canadians and build solid policy alternatives to the Conservatives. We will seize this opportunity.

Where Hepburn goes wrong is saying that having caucus members in their ridings is a mistake. Caucus members and riding associations across Canada are holding local town halls that will join the Montreal meetings electronically. These local meetings, chaired by caucus members, will make Canada at 150 a truly national inclusive event.

“It’s the fault of the political class,” said Mr. Ignatieff. “In truth, politicians don’t know how to keep young people interested in politics anymore. This is a major challenge, not only for the Liberal party, but for the entire political class.”

Iggy and the Liberals with yet another shot and a miss……………it’s the entitled elitist arrogant corruption ridden Liberals that just do not understand or try to get where Canadians are coming from. Go ahead Bloc Torontois and the Power Corp crowd, toss Iggy under the bus with Dion and force Bob Rae down your party’s throat and see what happens.

Suicide is not painless.

You all have the Chretien/Martin legacy to thank for the sorry addled state of the once “natural ruling party”.

The Liberal reality is not on planet earth, they live in a land of fairy tales, lollipops and unicorns

The local town halls is a good idea.

Too bad there is utterly no sign of one anywhere this side of the Saint John River.

If there are local town halls along with the 150 conference, they are a VERY well kept secret.
