Ignatieff uses a lot of old liberal retreads in his reasoning. In short, he wants to make the government bigger and more intrusive in the lives of Canadians.

Ignatieff’s Candidate Crisis is a Question of Leadership
Liberal leader Michael Ignatieff was a bit squeamish at the Comber Agricultural Fair on Sunday, avoiding a question about a recently resigned Liberal candidate, who is currently facing criminal charges. Steve Pickard, the disgraced Liberal nominee is the latest in a string of candidates who have said some controversial comments. Earlier this month a candidate for the Liberal party in Calgary said that the police are racist in some of their professional practices.
How many candidates have to step out of line or be hauled in front of a police lineup before this becomes an issue. If a leader cannot control his own candidates, how can they be trusted to steer their ship of government. Surrounding yourself with quality people is the first and fore-most important act of any political leader. Until Ignatieff can display the ability to exterminate all the cockroaches from his party. How can Canadians trust Ignatieff with the important challenges and choices that you have to make in government.

One Student Stands Up Against The Insanity Of The McGuinty Protectionista’s
In a free society not overrun by Protectionista’s, it should only take one voice to stand up against the nonsense of the Ontario government nanny state. The latest driving regulation has upset many youths in the province because it is a clear form of ageism that violates their constitutional right. University student Kevin Wiener has decided to take the new regulation to court.
It’s too bad the Ontario Liberals are more concerned about penalizing our youth instead of solving the bread and butter issues that concern Ontarians everyday. Time will tell if one voice in the wilderness standing up for his rights can still make a difference in an Ontario plagued by Protectionista’s.
While it’s true that all young drivers are inexperienced, not all inexperienced drivers are young,” he said.
Wiener says this is a form of age discrimination and it’s unconstitutional. If people are old enough to fly jets in the military, serve jury duty and vote, they are old enough to make sensible decisions about drinking and driving, he says. He plans to file his challenge to the new law on Wednesday.
“Adults are adults,” he said. “And [Premier] Dalton McGuinty is trying to treat people who are 21 years old like they’re children, and they’re not.”
