Ignatieff - I swear I am a Canadian

Shorter - changing historical musing - one liberal moment at a time. Wells walking down liberal memory lane, and oh, well

In fact, I know people who are ready to go to the wall to defend Ignatieff today, when he is the only serviceable weapon at hand against Stephen Harper, against an argument they were using themselves against Ignatieff in 2006, when they preferred other Liberal leadership candidates. Those people may well have changed their minds. Or they may be preferring hope to consistency.

That said, there are other more "serviceable weapons" who need not profess to being Canadian, who do know their Canadian history (without revision), and know their Canadian roots.

Iggy's played up "victimhood" and Liberal "over the top outrage" is all too rich when walking down "not too old" memory lane.

And those who forget their history end up repeating it!
