Re: Mr Ignatieff's education & Career,
Being educated in Harvard, Oxford or Cambridge as well as Canadian universities has not been at issue.
(Did Iggy ever study in Canada?)
What is at issue is that Mr. Ignatieff chose to become a citizen of the US. In order to do so, and as part of the vow you must take, he had to renounce citizenship to any other country. Few people actually know that.
So carrying on teaching at Harvard, he comes out swinging on TV in favor of the Iraqi war, at which point he says (to US citizens) "This country is as much your country as it is my country."
I am sorry, but I think most Canadians would be concerned about a US citizen running for Prime Minister.
Its either ironic or hypocritical ( you choose) that those parties which historically have been anti USA, are coming along side this candidate. I like Ignatieff alot. But he is a LAME DUCK. And those party mandarins that chose him should go away and let the party renew itself.
