Jack Layton being grossly insulted by Michael Ignatieff

Federal Leader's Debate April 12 2011.

I personally vote Conservative but I was so disgusted by Ignatieff's treatment of Jack Layton I felt compelled to post this. Mr. Layton has undergone severe health challenges recently and still has more character in an inch of his cane than Michael Ignatieff in his entire body. In the above clip you get to see the Harvard professor Ignatieff needlessly insult a truly Canadian politician. Take note Ignatieff, we are wise to your hijacking of a once proud Canadian party. No doubt you want nothing more than to crown your career with a prime ministerial stint. Your ego is the only thing you care about and your treatment of Jack Layton aptly proves just that.

"at least we get in government, you'll be in opposition forever" wow. If for no other reason that alone should've lost them a good 25 seats.

[KendrickMan]

No wonder Jack stole all his seats. Iggy was a prick

[Blackbirdisms]

What a scumbag Ignatieff is. Where are all of his defenders now that he means nothing to the party? They'd even come out in support of his support for "enhanced interrogation" when he was still a wannabe. Now he's a nobody. Oh well. Next.

Michael Ignatieff was pretty awful, hard to not agree with that. His worst fault was thinking he could move back to Canada, and simply be a Liberal and win. Liberals are always like that. There is a sense of entitlement, that the somehow just deserve it. Power is earned. The Liberal party has failed to earn the votes of Canadians because of their very own arrogance. They need a long time in the wilderness.

Fuck the NDP. They're the reason Harper is still in power. If people weren't dumb and actually voted based on POLICY rather than who the most charismatic leader is then the Liberals would have done better. Just as I thhought, the NDP "surge" was temporary

[Freethinker12341]

@Arrow370 totally, Mr. Ignatieff was a smart man but a terrible leader. Incompetent as they come. Bob Rae for PM!

[Arrow370]

I'm a lib, and still think that was a dick thing to say. Honestly, it's a running joke for any anti-NDP supporters, but it's hardly debate material.

RIP Jack

I didn't understand why people were crying at your funeral, mere strangers and all...but now I think i can see it

I honestly believe you were the best choice

Fuck Harper and his band of criminals

[moeali777]

RIP Layton. When I came to Canada 10 years ago, it was a very nice country, it still is but to be honest it's much worse now.

[swiftyJ88]

We miss you Mr.Layton.

@luvdastuf

How can you even say that? Where is the logic behind your thinking?

You sound like a Southern State Republican talking about Obama and his Communistic Free Health Care plan.

Jack Layton was the biggest sell out this country has ever had. He did more to help Harper get elected than Harper or the RCMP did. He was a 2 faced weasel and I for one do not miss one bit!!!!!
