Michael Ignatieff is No Liberal
Liberal Leadership candidate supported by same
well-financed American neo-conservative interests
associated with Mr. Stephen Harper.
by Maurice Girard
The book explores the extent to which Mike Ignatieff
is an opportunistic political mercenary as well as an
apparent traitor, who seeks to dismantle and to
deliver Canada to ultra-right U.S. interests (and
their commercially wealthy "Quisling" confederates in
Canada). Is he a Liberal impostor?
Michael Ignatieff and other Traitors' was edited by a
scholar in Canadian politics, and political history,
who has strategically participated in the Liberal
Party of Canada political campaigns. The editor has
supported vital causes toward helping defend the
political legacy of former Prime Minister Pierre
Elliot Trudeau, who critically championed Canada's
national identity as a socially progressive 'Just
Society'.
Book excerpt:
We at STOP IGGY represent a large and growing group of
Liberals who have decided to organize in protest over
Michael Ignatieff's candidacy for leadership of the
Federal Liberal Party of Canada.
Although Mr. Ignatieff is often compared to Trudeau
(and does nothing to dissuade those comparisons), the
truth is that he and the late, great Prime Minister
have nothing in common.
While Trudeau was a left-wing Liberal who was
concerned with promoting Canada in the world,
Ignatieff is a right-wing ideologue who is concerned
only with promoting the expansion of the American
Empire, as envisioned by U.S. President George W.
Bush, of whom Ignatieff is an enthusiastic supporter.
While Trudeau was a peace activist who campaigned
tirelessly for nuclear disarmament, Ignatieff was
largely responsible for passing the vote to extend
Canada's mission in Afghanistan indefinitely, and has
been an enthusiastic proponent of both the illegal war
in Iraq and Missile Defence (aka Star Wars).
While Trudeau dedicated his life to this country,
Ignatieff has been glad to spend the last thirty years
of his life abroad, and only returned because a select
group of backers convinced him he would become
Canada's next Prime Minister.
While Trudeau was a passionate advocate for human
rights, and fathered our own Charter of Rights and
Freedoms, Ignatieff has famously endorsed certain
modes of torture as being "permissible forms of
duress".
While some journalistic hacks have taken it upon
themselves to anoint Ignatieff "Canada's Next Prime
Minister", no one thought to ask the Canadian people
exactly how they felt about this. Since his leadership
campaign has kicked into high gear, Canadians both
inside and outside of the Liberal Party are rising up
in protest, in ever-increasing numbers.
Mike Ignatieff also seeks to dismantle Canada's world
renown universal public healthcare system.
