“The only thing I missed about Canada was Algonquin Park”.

And sure enough he filmed his first television ad there.




Damn right we can do better!

Update: It appears that the video is just as fake as Ignatieff is. From the strange outline around Iggy, to the mysterious moving background, it appears that this was filmed in a studio in front of a green screen.

That sure is a far cry from what he was saying in this video.


Bring it on!

Will he tell us how he plans to do that. This is supposed to get us to vote for him and his trained seals.

"We can do better than Liberals".

We can do better.

To do that we need to give a Stephen Harper led Conservative government a majorityto be able to make decisions based in the best interests of Canadains, not coddling an American, socialist, and seperatist.

FYI I brought up Ignatieffs quote on a Liberal blog and challenged ANYONE to justify Ignatieff playing an American imposter. No one has risen to the challenge and I have been deleted all 6 times. Thank goodness for screenshots.

Thanks for showing the ad AA. It's not very good.

It looks fake and I don't care what anyone says Iggy photographs very badly. He always has a half-squint going on.

We can do better is right.

The Liberals CAN do better by picking the leader behind Door Number 3 - can't be worse than the last two prizes Monte.

I like that he's wearing a Tory Blue shirt and not his signature Liberal tie or sweater.

Could that mean something?

Is that Algonquin Park the same as Stanley Park like John Colicos is the same as Willian Hutt?

How do we know that wasn't shot in England? How many passports does this guy hold? Canadian, US,British, France, what country does his wife come from? Canadian of convenience!!!

CM is on. I think I have made too many enemies today to leave free reign in the comments, but unlike a certain Liberal blog I do not delete without a blatant violation of my comment policy or in the other cases without warning.

Heck, after watching that ad, with all that enthusiasm just bubbling out of Iggy, I'm convinced.

Convinced that he is a professor pretending to be a leader.

Once again we are asked to suspend our disbelief, watch the video, vote for ME-ME. A poser, a hollow man.IMO The Lieberal equivelent of a "blow-up doll".
We are doing better already! we are recovering, 90% of our people are working, the stimulus dollars are going out. We are once again a year down the road from the Dion disaster, being asked to put everything on hold 'cause "wait-and -see- Miky-from-away" wants to run Canada?? I think if this election comes about, we should treat it as an opportunity to "spank" the Lieberals and NDP, P M Stephen Harper has done a competent job in difficult times, I will be voting Conservative.

I've said it elsewhere, including a few Liberal blogs just for some giggles...then I found many like minded people here...

The reason these ads look so bad is They’re likely pocketed the money rather then spend it on any form of quality product and film crew… the ads look like they were filmed by middle school students...no offense kids... and the advertising company that developed the new slogan needs to go back to the drawing board as Rick Merser should have a field day with all the ways it can be twisted to either reflect the leader or the entire party in a negative self loathing way…

e.g. Is it from the Bob Rae camp thinking it’s time for a new leader…”We can Do better Liberals” as in better than Iffy???

or maybe from a NDP’r amid the staff members who came up with it who was actually saying “Liberals,…We can do better!!!”

Tell iggy we are taking on the world, in BC in February in an event called the Olympics. Hopefully China and India will not do better than us, and we will do better than last time, in medal count.

I've put this on a couple other blogs just to show how the ctv might be indulging in some wishful thinking ? that and I'm kind of bored ,but did I miss something this spring ?
New ads by the Liberals hint at fall election

The federal Liberal Party has released three election-themed TV ads featuring Michael Ignatieff, for the first time since his election as party leader in May.

Geez that sounds familiar...

Love to juxtapose that last statement with that other memorable quote from Iggy.

Thusly:

Voice:Micheal Ignatieff says that the liberals can do better. But what did they manage to accomplish in 13 years of government?
MI:"we didn't get it done".
