Such is the state of our political discourse. Here in Canada, we tend to look at our neighbours down south with a "I'm glad we're not them" attitude. Seriously though, how far off are we in our political discourse? So it comes with a "thank you" and "merci" in two-languages. Big hitzpiffle.
Here's a gem from Liberal leader Michael Ignatieff:
"We are the progressive, reforming centre of Canada. I can't emphasize how much we are in the centre," he told supporters.
"You know you smell the whiff of sulfur coming off the guy (Harper) - we know how right wing these guys really are."
Let's see. Make a dubious self-proclaimed statement followed by an ad hominen.
Nothing in there of substantial worth. Just pure garbage.
And he's an intellectual!
Prediction: Liberals go nowhere in the next election. It's gonna take a helluva lot more to wrestle me away from the Tories than tripe like this. Note to Liberals: Sell me on your ideas and the issues. Yeah, the Tories aren't governing the way I would like but they're far from evil incarnate so spare me th effen hyperbole.
Babies.
