He's shoving the party into spots and corners in a way that no interim leader has a right to. I think the guy is showing us he's anything but ready for prime time. He's impulsive, tempermental and arrogant.The Mound of Soundhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09023839743772372922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32931256.post-32998161527929448472009-02-27T17:55:00.000-08:002009-02-27T17:55:00.000-08:00Steve: You might note that if Ignatieff is taken a...Steve: You might note that if Ignatieff is taken at face value, he won't be able to unveil a policy until the oil industry <I>agrees</I> to hard caps (note the plan to "negotiate" rather than "consult").

The guy has failed to deliver any substantive statement with respect to domestic issues that face Canadians. It's like the LPC strategy is to avoid defining him and let people assume he is carrying the Liberal "brand".Beijing Yorkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05579118045254845839noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32931256.post-44897967328897966142009-02-27T17:21:00.000-08:002009-02-27T17:21:00.000-08:00"He can't or won't prescribe any clean up targets ..."He can't or won't prescribe any clean up targets much less a timeline."<BR/><BR/>Mound, to be fair, I don't expect this yet from a guy who's been on the job two months.

He always skirts around the greenhouse gas issue and never gets anywhere close to acknowledging all the other environmental dangers associated with bitumen mining and processing. He can't or won't prescribe any clean up targets much less a timeline. Absent any specifics of environmental remediation, it's all so much lipflap. Meaningless, insincere.The Mound of Soundhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09023839743772372922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32931256.post-36659103921345636182009-02-27T16:14:00.000-08:002009-02-27T16:14:00.000-08:00Tired of the same old song?
