Michael Ignatieff's recent foreign policy speech, part of his “Big Canada” kick, is an admirable, wide-ranging canvass about how “it is time for the world to be at the centre of our national conversation, not the margins.” But a grab-bag of proposals do not constitute a vision. And in the very week he gave his speech, Mr. Ignatieff appeared to downplay its contents, reflective of the political calculation with which he has been seized of late. Source

Ignatieff has zero plan. The Liberals have zero plan. The Liberals haven't had any policy since Martin left. They don't know what they stand for. They are still rebuilding and trying to find an identity.

So far they just seem content to repackage Tory ideas and call them their own. This isn't going to wash with Canadians. Canadians don't trust him as a leader as it is, regardless of what he says.

The only ones fawning over him are about 12 Liberal MPs and the hyper partisans of the internet. Everyone else in Canada sees him for what he is.

An out of touch professor who has lived outside Canada for 90% of his adult life. In fact he's lived outside of Canada for the entire life of the 18-35 voter bracket. Which is the bracket a party leader is supposed to connect with.

How can he do this if he has lived out side Canada for their entire lives? He hasn't the foggiest as to how this age group thinks. He's out of touch.
