He has to drop the politician act and begin talking seriously with Canadians about the problems we face.<BR/><BR/>He will have to trust that we can understand him. <BR/><BR/>Let's see some video of him - where's his YouTube presence?

Let's see *how* he thinks, not how he plays politics.<BR/><BR/>Right now he's up against a much tougher opponent in Harper than he cares to admit (he should have taken him out when he had the chance). And Harper is getting to people - don't believe the polls, particularly, Harper is building strength on strength that will not be reflected until these strengths are tested.<BR/><BR/>Unless Ignatieff actually *talks* to Canadians, he will lose. And he must talk directly to Canadians, bypassing a media that has, by and large, turned its back on the Liberals and the left in Canada.Stephen Downeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06140591903467372209noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4937285970642106606.post-27162290903072234942009-02-13T10:33:00.000-05:002009-02-13T10:33:00.000-05:00For a guy that deals in maybe's it maybe so for no...For a guy that deals in maybe's it maybe so for now.<BR/>Maybe not when more pink slips are handed out.Oemissionshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15052778663890940687noreply@blogger.com
