If you read Ignatieff’s speech at Whitehall this week, you’ll agree that he came across as a model of decorum and statesmanship. He still made a critically important point, though. He explained that Canadian conservatives have traditionally adhered to the liberal-democratic model. By inference, the CPC’s fixation on divisive regionalism and narrow ideology is a departure traditional conservatives should not accept.
While Stephen Harper acted the buffoon on one world stage, Michael Ignatieff showed himself the better conservative on another.
