Liberals Still Fighting Each Other, Not Uniting: LeBlanc


Story here.
Any hope to end years of Liberal infighting appeared to be fading Sunday as the party's three leadership candidates exchanged bitter barbs about their first forum before next spring's convention.

Leadership hopeful Bob Rae accused rival Michael Ignatieff of trying to block the media from attending Sunday's forum, even threatening to boycott the event if Ignatieff did not allow reporters to attend.

For his part, Ignatieff vehemently denied closing the doors of the debate, saying he was just following rules agreed to by all three candidates.

"The game hasn't even started and they're at each other's throats," LeBlanc told reporters outside the forum, referring to Ignatieff and Rae.
Oh, just read the article... if you want. Suffice it to say, the Liberals are still mentally-disordered, infighting, deeply in the fiscal red and utterly devoid of quality candidates, plus one of them, Ignatieff, is clearly more American than Canadian, having lived south of the border more than north of it, making him a bit out of touch relative to the always-lived-in-Canada Harper, the Conservative Prime Minister. We've heard in the last few weeks of all those Liberals who declined to run to lead the moribund old Hard-Left party out of the deep woods of the political wilderness. It's a much longer list of the fuggedaboutits than it is of those who have chosen to give it a go.
