Worthwhile Canadian Attack Ad

"I wish my country could be a little better"

That same attack ad could be used on Obama. One might want to substitute "little" with "a lot" though.

You should have added that there's not an election campaign on at the moment in Canada. Nevertheless, the Conservative, Party in desperation to hold on to its share of the vote, is running ads attacking the leaders of the other political parties. It's good old fashioned gutter politics.

I wonder how would British people feel if, say, Daniel Richler returned to the U.K. and became a serious candidate for Prime Minister?

Mark Steyn on Ignatieff:

Far weirder are his tortured protestations of Canadianness, like his sort of pledge of a kind of allegiance in The Rights Revolution -- the book that "deepened my attachment to the place on earth that, if I needed one, I would call home."

Surely wanting to make the country "a little better" is a good thing for an aspirant Prime Minister of Canada? If he said "I like my country the way it is", he could hardly oppose the Tory government, could he?
