Michael Ignatieff's story is the Canadian story. His father was a refugee who came here with nothing, began a new life, raised a family, and gave his children a chance at a better future. It's a story that's been written, and rewritten thousands of times, by new Canadians from every corner of the globe. This video tells the story of Michael Ignatieff's family and the Liberal Leader's enduring belief in the equality of opportunity that defines Canada at its best.

Cette vidéo raconte l'histoire de la famille de Michael Ignatieff et de la croyance immuable du Parti libéral dans l'égalité des chances qui définit le Canada à son meilleur.

  • Most "Canadian Stories" don't involve leaving the country to live/work elsewhere.

  • I love how he talks like his father had nothing when he came to Canada, but was able to send Michael to Upper Canada College, which is about $50,000/year now days

  • Anything is better than Harper.

  • I don't understand why so many dislikes, he has a strong message though, my family came from Poland to have a better life here

  • @duttonweb go to the liberal website and read their platform

  • Harper needs to stop!

  • Ignatieff defends the tar sands. Not voting for him. 

  • Nice videos, I like how they were made. But I have to ask, when will Michael Ignatieff start talking about Jobs? I am a student graduating this spring. What will he do for me?

  • My Yugoslavian father came to Canada because after a decade of weaving through Europe at the end of World War II, he finally landed in the UK but was never made to feel welcome. I exist because Canada was welcoming to him. Thank you for sharing your father's lovely story.

  • It's good to see that the Liberals aren't using fear mongering as part of their campaign. Conservative voters cite harper for working to provide a stable economy, but they always forget to mention that he spent like money grew on trees.
