Michael Ignatieff in conversationwith Allan Gregg

[cheeriosinabowl]

Iggy's cheshire-cat grin turns me OFF !

[Freethinker12341]

i love this guy!

[TED595]

Brilliant idea! A new infrastructure that ALL can use and appreciate ! This would end the need for travel in commerce and life in general !!! MORE, MORE IDEAS !!

[macplumber]

How about we build the envy of the world, coast to coast, north to south, state of the art Fibre optic infrastructure. Sort of a Information Superailway. A National Dream 2.0 so to speak. For future generations of Canadians....... Just ask me anything, I'v got a million of em.

[vid009]

Lets give Jack & Elizabeth May at the very least, more seats. Ottawa needs an ENEMA ! People need to start getting off their fat asses & pay less attention to media & more on what the politicians are actually doing with our money. Educate yourselves on the truth about energy & why our cars only get 30 miles/gallon after so many decades !. The truth about drugs & healthcare system. Look up "THE BECK PROTOCOLl", the "PAAP engine" and CHEMTRAILS ! wake up everyone !

[spudd777]

Let me get this straight. Iggy's family comes here from Commie Russia. If Harper is elected as PM with a minority government, Iggy will form a coalition because democracy scares him. He wants to feel at home where democracy didn't exist. He quotes Chairman Mao in the debate. If the coalition doesn't happen, he's going 'home' to the states. You Liberal voters are dicks.

[SamuelBTucker]

Michael Ignatieff he didn't come back for you.

[macplumber]

@SamuelBTucker He came back for children and grandchildren.

[toprotectandconserve]

Iggnatieff is not a leader. It would be Sponsorship Scandal Redux. CPC is the only answer

[terrancelueckgen]

ignatieff is an idiot , Alberta should separate

[nessalyn82]

@terrancelueckgen i agree with that .we dont need alberta,well only your oil ;)

[terrancelueckgen]

ignatieff is an idiot

[vid009]

@terrancelueckgen . Your being way too polite ! we need to start saying it like it is. Their nothing more then two faced, spineless liers with Mcguinty at the top of the rotten pile.

[TriathleteP90]

People who criticize this man are ...i don't know where you get your justification from...completely disconnected from the facts or simply on drugs...

It's sad how effective the conservative attack ads for so many people. This man is so full of accomplishments, well educated and passionate about his Canadian heritage.

I'm so incredibly lost for words when I hear people suggest he is unpatriotic or unqualified. Its just sad...

[nessalyn82]

@TriathleteP90 this election has really made me see how ignorant people are...

[mikefastener]

@TriathleteP90 You are such an apologist! This man abandoned his mother and abandoned his children. Tell me where I am wrong. He is therefore morally questionable and has not got the character a PM must have.

I'll take a family man like Mr. Harper.

How about you?

[xothegoat]

@mikefastener unless you live within the walls of the homes of these men and are party to their very personal relationships with the members of their respective families, you have no idea who they've "abandoned" and cannot BEGIN to question their morals nor their character on that basis.

[mikefastener]

@xothegoat You are simply, wrong! When a politician uses that "very personal relationship" as you refer to it, for political gain; then, it becomes open to examination. Typical lie-beral style--throw up something about the family, and, then, when questioned--shout with outrage that it is "off limits". (No one does false “outrage” as well as a lie-beral.)

Look in a mirror--you know I am right and have very clearly won this argument.

BTW--tell me where I am wrong!

(Hope I educated you.)

[xothegoat]

@mikefastener are we to understand that politicians should avoid any mention of their families at all, unless they are prepared to divulge every detail about them when questioned? That if Mr. Harper the family man shares with us insights into his personal relationships, it is purely so that we can get to know him better, but if Ignatieff does the same, he is merely doing it for political gain?

I can only hope that someone with your grammatical prowess is not seriously trying to educate anybody.

[mikefastener]

@xothegoat You are to understand that if a politicians wishes to "trot out" their family relationships for political gain, those relationship can be scrutinized without the typical liberal outrage.

Please grow up!

[mikefastener]

@xothegoat Canadians are "roaring" from coast to coast to coast at the historic win my Mr. Harper and his MAJORITY government!!!

We are all so proud of him.

A little egg on your face goaty?

Just wondering...

[xothegoat]

@mikefastener this from somebody who tells others to "please grow up." Classy. Very classy.

I'm glad for "your Mr. Harper" and wish him good luck. At least things might run more efficiently now that he can avoid proroguing parliament whenever there are disagreements. He can simply choose to ignore any opinions which differ from his own. Roar on, fellow Canadians.

[mikefastener]

@xothegoat "that he can avoid proroguing parliament" due to him having a majority.

Interesting, Chretien-boy prorogued 5 times, all with minority governments--once to avoid fallout of the lie-beral corruption scandal.

I am sure you are also angry about Chretien as well; otherwise, that you make you a hypocrite.

Are you a hypocrite? Just wondering....

And, yes--I am viewing many Cdns cheering Mr. Harper today--we are all so proud.



[TriathleteP90]

@mikefastener I'll tell you where you are wrong. You're wroing by buying into conservative propaganda that a family man is the prerequisite for a national leader..

[mikefastener]

@TriathleteP90 So it is Conservative propaganda wrt a family man; yet, Iffy harps on his relationship with his parents--who he abandoned BTW. Remember, lie-berals wrote the book on propaganda. The lie-berals generally (like Stalin) refer to their supporters as, "the useful idiots".

From what it looks like for Monday, those supporters are not being idiots any more!

Hope I educated you on this!

[TriathleteP90]

@mikefastener take a pill man

[mikefastener]

@TriathleteP90 Face reality my silly friend! (Otherwise we will get those corruption boys in again.)

I hope, that like me, you will Stand up for Canada.

Unlike Iffy who sits down for the lie-beral party.

And, as we found out last night, Jack who just now is referred to as Jack Laydown!

Hope I helped you here.

[TriathleteP90]

@mikefastener it's honestly hard to listen to you.. you sound like you are 12. or at least have the vision of a 12 year old. im resigning from this...

[mikefastener]

@TriathleteP90 My poor silly friend. Better to sound like you are 12 than to sound like you have the IQ of 12!

(I know I made you feel very embarrassed here with my superior debating skills--don't worry--it is a natural talent I have had for many years.)

Are you clear now?

[gricer1326]

@mikefastener Superior debating skills. You don't even know what a debate is and you're still terrible at them.

[mikefastener]

@gricer1326 Is this from someone who believes “Anne Horwath” (sic) is the Ontario leader of the NDP?

(Talk about your informed debater!)

Just pointing out the facts!

Any comment, grocer?

(You may wish to run away again.)

[gricer1326]

@mikefastener Is this from someone who believes childish insults and endlessly repeated non-arguments are an acceptable way to debate. Sorry mikey, learn what an actual debate is, practice making a point, and then we can talk again.

[mikefastener]

@gricer1326 grocer.....why were you sent to the children's table of debating?

(You seen everyone, you ask grocer to justify the position or answer a question and all you get are childish insults.)

[gricer1326]

@mikefastener You both sound like you are 12 and like you have an IQ of 12. I wouldn't be talking if i were you.

[mikefastener]

@gricer1326 How's Anne Horvath doing you 12 year old?

[mikefastener]

@TriathleteP90 Great result last night with Mr. Harper winning a solid MAJORITY!!!

I am sure you agree, my friend!

[xothegoat]

@TriathleteP90 thank you for putting into words precisely what I've been feeling. It's incredibly sad how effective those attack ads were. I really thought that we as Canadians were smarter than that.

[levedia]

@TriathleteP90 Layton all the way. Iggy supports Harper. In reality he wants to win the election

by pretending that he opposes Harper.

This guy is a big scam. Jack Layton put him on the spot in the debate. Made him look like a liar which he "was".

[robbb661]

@TriathleteP90 LOLOLOLOL....Canada and especially the Libtards he was counting disagree with you

[canadamonster]

cpr sucks

[wheelzwheela]

I LOVE Ignatieff! He is doing for the Liberals exactly what I hope he would do... DRIVE IT INTO THE GROUND!

[ODENGRACIE]

Ignatieff is a Yankee, Pure and Simple. Pompous ass American trying to become Canada's leade.

[icyspotz00]

@ODENGRACIE WOW! You're really buying into those conservative propaganda ads aren't you??? I guess ignorance really is bliss! So if I can to the U.S or anywhere else in the world other than canada to further my career and secure the financial future for my children that makes me something other than Canadian. Oh and is refering to Americans as pompous not hypocritical on your part, you clearly think you're better than them .... hmmm who's pompous now.

[ODENGRACIE]

@icyspotz00 Vote Green Party already.

[Mk1rceme]

HEY! Count Iggnoranus...get out of my country you twat!

[icyspotz00]

@Mk1rceme "YOU'RE" country is actually made up of immigrants from all over the world. I welcome cultural diversity and new perspective.

[gilbert4321]

Why do people hate this guy... its ok to say you don't agree with him but to curse at him...

[Mk1rceme]

Gawd! I fucking hate Libtards

[icyspotz00]

@terrancelueckgen Really!!! We have people like you voting on who's going to be our next PM ...God save us All.

[tothatextent]

Shit head

[lougalou04]

@seenybeany God, you're a retard. You're the type of person that would have to have every allusion explained? No wonder you didn’t want to debate. Climb a tree and stuff a banana in your mourth, Elmo.

[lougalou04]

@seenybeany My insults? I guess saying the truth about Iggy is an insult? I guess that's what the Liberals don't want the general public to know about. And that's the reason why you don't have the guts to "argue" this issue with me, isn't it? You don't want to argue because you can't defend his record. He's as much of an embarrassment as you are. Pussy.

[lougalou04]

@seenybeany I insulted you?At the beginning, I made a harmless comment recommending you to comment on some other channel since you didn't want to argue politics,and then you and (HdTV?) came out swinging against me calling me a troll, etc.How else would you expect someone to respond to you?Then I thought better of it and deleted my comments to let bygones be bygones,and you made another dig at me.Well, asshole,I've been commenting on Youtube for too long to put up with a punk like you.

[lougalou04]

@seenybeany And once again, you and another friend of yours (Lawliss) try to double-team me again. Why should I be surprised? To be honest with you, I'm usually quite cordial but punks like you piss me off. You make comments, won't do anything to back them up, and if someone states the truth about your candidate you start demonizing the person. Go ahead. Run away. By not defending your candidate, you're telling me everything I need to know: You can't back up your words. Not surprised.

[lougalou04]

@seenybeany Again you're insulting: "I don't have a life"? Oh, so that's a compliment? You know nothing about me, and yet you make that comment. All I can say is that you're a son of a bitch. Big comments for someone on the internet. If you were here I'd take you fucking down, Gay boy. Let's look at the comment above: "he always licks his lips like hes reptilian also his eye pupils are thin.......weird"by Illusion of Lies. Everyone agrees with you? Shut up, you twat.

[lougalou04]

@seenybeany I've come to irrefutable conclusion that you're a prick. You bait people. You demean them. And then when they go back to defend themselves, you then point your finger at them. Good thing I don't know who you are, because if I did, I would kick the shit out of you, Gay boy. Go back and read your own comments, you lousy piece of scum.

[lougalou04]

@seenybeany Here we go again. Mister lilly white. I've had an account with Youtube for two years, and I've never met such a tool as you. God, I'd like to kick your lilly white ass. Now which other of your friends are going to post a comment against me? Can't you fight your own battles, or are you such a loser that you have to have your friends butting their noses in? Grow a spine, Sean Weany.

[LawlissCF]

@lougalou04 Answer the question troller. Honestly! Also, at least hes got friends LOL! ouch, thats gotta hurt.

[lougalou04]

@endakka You're a liar. Seanbeany is on your friends list. Don't you have any honour? Oh and another put down by one of Sean Weany's friends. Yah! You guys double team anyone that you feel threatened by. You bait them until they get upset and react to your jabs. Basicly, I see that you avoid the truth whenever it's convenient for you. Pathetic. You guys are boring me with your lies and your infantile behaviour. Go pick on someone else now. Why don't you go and play tag on the 401,fag

[lougalou04]

@seenybeany I don't care what you have to say, fag. Go double team someone else that gets in the way of the truth. Get lost, SEAN WEANY.

[lougalou04]

@seenybeany No. I've never learned to respect despicable baiters like you. And I never will. I really feel sorry for you. God, you're a pathetic excuse for a human being. I'm out.

[lougalou04]

@seenybeany Like I've said before: Your tactic is to bait a person relentlessly until they get upset, and then you point your finger at them. God, you're boring me. Do something constructive with your life, why don't you? Stop baiting people, wait for them to get upset, and then have a friend double team that person. Someone has got to be an adult here, so I'm going to end this response to such a pathetic individual. Get a life.

[lougalou04]

@seenybeany In your estimation, stating the truth about Ignatieff is trolling a video. Fact #1: He stabbed the former Liberal leader, Stephane Dion, in the back. Therefore, he's not to be trusted. Fact #2: He's lived 34 years in the US. Therefore, I question his love and loyalty to this country. Those are feasible comments to make. But for you this is trolling. WRONG.

[lougalou04]

@seenybeany At least Harper is someone that can be trusted. He didn't stab his former leader in the back.  He's lived in CAnada his whole life, and didn't live in some other country for three and a half decades only to come back when the opportunity arose to feed his overweaning vanity (like Ignatieff has done). The truth must hurt, doesn't it?

[LawlissCF]

@lougalou04 I've come to the conclusion that your an idiot. Not much else to say, everyone else has said it all. Happy trolling.

[lougalou04]

@LawlissCF I've come to that conclusion about SEAN WEANY and all of his loser friends a long time ago, faggot.

[LawlissCF]

@lougalou04 Its people like you who pollute the internet and can make it such a pain. I support the Conservatives as well, doesn't mean I troll all over Liberal videos and try and start little fights. Grow up.

[lougalou04]

@LawlissCF Stating the truth about Ignatieff is "trolling over a video". It's history: Ignatieff stabbed his former leader (Dion) in the back; he was out of the country for 34 years. Obviously the Liberals can't take the truth. When has stating the truth been dishonourable? I'd rather people see Iggy warts and all, because that video shows him to be something that he's not: honourable, trustworthy, possessing integrity. He doesn't have any of those qualities. He's just a Macbeth: that's all

[LawlissCF]

@lougalou04 People like you annoy me. I support the Conservative party as well, doesn't mean I troll Liberal videos and try and start "debates" (lol) with people. No one needs to defend their reasons for voting for a certain party or for disliking another party. Please, just get off the internet, its past your bedtime.

[lougalou04]

Why are my opinions about Ignatieff being blocked on the video "Michael Ignatieff and His Vision"? I have made hundreds of posts on Youtube, but this is the first time that any of my opinions have ever been blocked. Is Ignatieff that insecure about his position that he can't take fair criticism? Is this democracy? As I've said before: Iggy is a sham. You can't trust him!

[lougalou04]

I tried posting a comment on the video entitled "Michael Ignatieff and His Vision", but it is being blocked. I made some honest observations about his man. Namely, that he stabbed the former leader of the liberals,Stephane Dion, in the back (good followers make good leaders?). Also, I questioned how we Canadians could possibly believe that someone who spent at least twenty years out of the country really understands us. Is this the type of leader we want? Don't trust him.

[jetranger47]

Ignatieff is a carbetbag Canadian: he has spent most of his adult life OUTSIDE of Canada and now hopes to cash in on the liberal party mess. Shame on him.

He is nothing if insincere

[brokenbrainz1]

Boy Gregg sure nailed it on post partisan politics.  Lol, its never been more partisan then it is right now.

[MegaTmarshall]

Iggy should go back to the United States because he has no place in Canadian politics here as the Federal Liberal Party leader. Iggy spent 30+ years in the U.S. (outside of Canada) and eventually taught school at Harvard University. Now he has the gall to think that he is qualified to be the PM of Canada as the head of the Liberal Party to win a federal election?? Go home Iggy! If you don't, the Liberals will likely lose party status with you at the helm.

[MegaTmarshall]

@seenybeany I was voting for the Liberals before you were even born my friend. Actually I'm not happy with any of the candidates on the federal level let alone in the province of Ontario. Unfortunately, the Liberals as of late seem to be constantly scandalizing themselves at every turn. So why should I trust Iggy and why should I trust any other politician for that matter? In my opinion, they all seem to be corrupt anymore.

[jetranger47]

@seenybeany

iggy knows NOTHING about Canada BECAUSE he has not lived here. To even imagine that he knows what Canadians want or need is sheer stupidity. His only brilliance is convincing the liberal party that he is Canadian: he is not. He can't fool the rest of Canada the same way.

[lougalou04]

@seenybeany Listen! Of all the G8 nations, Canada has come out of the recession the quickest and is doing very well economically. How can we complain about Harper?  Look south of the border or any of the countries in Europe. See how they are in an economic shambles. What do we have to complain about? As far as I'm concerned, Harper's doing a fine job.

[lougalou04]

@seenybeany You don't want to argue political opinions on lthe internet????? Why are you posting on this video???? Maybe you should move over to a Betty Crocker video if you don't want to argue politics.

[themooddisorders]

@moodypoet Explain

[jy9626]

I'm a foreigner. This is the first time i've seen a canadian really proud of his nation. Just as he says, in my view, this country does seem to need some energy, enthusiasm, and to a certain degree, pride.

[swile121]

@jy9626 no he is a stupied american

[WMBrown]

i'm a liberal voter normally... and something about him seems odd. like he's not your ordinary politician.

i do think he's a bit of a bully, but maybe that's what this country needs to shape up and get back on track.

still, i think i may vote Green next time. i'm not giving Harper my vote and i don't trust the NDP to run this country without spending us into economic collapse... so that doesn't leave much choice.

[DLJTMB]

The man should go back to school.

[gundamWWW]

He's not a bad guy but leaving the country for 34 years doesn't look good. I mean he didn't do humanitarian or non profit work.

He worked with private organizations and eventually supported the war in Iraq and coercive interrogation against enemy combtants.

What's toublind is that he doesn't admit that he was wrong, but he makes an excuse for it.

If he manned up to it and said he made a mistake I would respect him a lot.

[kidkappa04]

I don't care if hes arrogant, I don't care if hes a self-centered prick! I don't like his ideology to lead this country! his mentality doesn't encourage me that he will make us more independent and more Canadian! I want a Quebecer! they seem to be the only ones that progress Canada the right way!!! (besides pearson)

[AppleCanuk]

you naysayers best stop talking...this is the next prime minister of canada.

[ethicomm]

MIchael Ignatieff truly scares me. I don't lean strongly toward any political party but something about him doesn't right with me. The fact that he spent so much time outside of Canada doesn't sit right and that might be part of the problem. Then again, I've never felt comfortable with Liberal leaders because it was as if they were talking down to us. Whether it was Chrétien, Trudeu or Paul Martin, I've never had confidence in them.

[dougeagle]

Yeah sure...lets spend another 300 million of taxpayers dollars and have an election while Canada is a recession. Oh and lets vote for a guy who worked and lived in the US for 30 years...bringing his American Ideology to this country is totally unacceptable.

Latest polls show that Ignatieff would not win an election.

[starlightgirlrules]

Ignatieff is a joke,you want a guy running canada who was gone for thirty years. All he know how to say is election election election.

[LovinLiberal]

Liberals are more trustworthy than NEOCONS!!!! Iggy will be our new leader you can see it in people everyday how much they want CHANGE and YES we CAN!! Get rid of the hate filled neocon dinosaurs its time for that change we all want!

[Dannymac830]

Yeah right, the only people who vote Liberal anymore are Torontonians and those in the Maritimes. The rest of us are sick of Liberal destruction of a good country and so we vote for the only real alternative, even if Harper isn't that good and we aren't really conservative at all.

My choices are liberal morons who have done an endless amount of damage, essentially communists in the NDP, or a reasonably moderate party which has some strong right wing elements, sorry I pick #3.

[kidkappa04]

Liberals have done more good for Canada then any other political party. if you know and acknowledge that your a moron. i'm all for right wing to, and i think Harper is a brilliant politian but hes a terrible humanitarian and that makes for a bad prime minister. the country is more divided then ever and we are spending money poorly. I don't want an election, but I do want a liberal government and i will be voting for Harper. I like his laurels better then Ignatieffs, but their both poor

[Dannymac830]

And the Liberals are responsible for how divide we are. They always just represented Ontario, the Maritimes and people in Montreal. Thanks to multiculturalism everyone just views Canadian citizenship as a insurance policy and leaves all their concern and loyalty with their country of origin, and they live in insular communities having no contact with society at large. And we give in to every Quebec demand when they should have just been let go years ago. They ruined it.

[Marshallsg]

Well clearly we here in Nova Scotia didn't vote liberal during our provincial election.

[lougalou04]

@LovinLiberal Get real! We're going to vote for a candidate who had to step over the body of his former leader (Stephane Dion) to get where he is? Good followers make good leaders? How can anyone respect this Macbeth?

[SuperRaymond77]

Ignatieff is a bigger warmonger than Harper -- he's not getting my vote.

[st4rs33d]

This country deserves a leader like Ignatieff. It is about effing time we get a smart leader who thinks big. Yes he was out of the country for a long time, but I do not know of any politician who is more in tune with the country's problems and the direction we need to go in. This is the first time in my life that I am excited about a politician.

Once you get in Iggy, remember that actions speak louder than words.

[kidkappa04]

To American. All of our countries leaders are weak right now. Dion would have been excellent if he were better with english and more of a salesmen. But for now I will be voting harper because he is an evil I know.

[TruthThroughResearch]

See and hear Ignatieff say: "We wouldn't have international human rights without the leadership of George W. Bush and the United States!" during his 2005 lecture at Trinity College.Go to my videos and watch "The Real Michael Ignatieff ."

[ILLUSIONofLIES]

he always licks his lips like hes reptilian also his eye pupils are thin.......weird
