Didn't Michael Ignatieff spend like most of his life in the US? He reminds me waaay too much of John Kerry, actually. I mean, yeah, I voted for Kerry, but only because he wasn't George Bush.

I love Stéphane Dion, despite my whole I'd-be-NDP-if-I-were-Canadian thing. He was real, which is something not often seen in politics anywhere. I want to bake him cookies and give his dog treats.
