Maybe It Is Ignatieff

I thought all the rumours about Ignatieff sabotaging Dion were absurd, but in yesterday's Globe and Mail Joan Bryden said that Ignatieff had been after Dion to dismiss Mr. Carroll since early this year. Since when does a Deputy Prime Minister give advice presumably without being asked and then not take no for an answer? In October of last year I predicted here that the Liberals would never win under Ignatieff because he was arrogant, said willy nilly that we should re-open the constitution to acknowledge Quebec's nationhood, and also said that he was the right person for Quebec. Dion is the leader and if he doesn't agree with Ignatieff (thank heavens), he can shuffle him off. I think Dion is going to have to give up his dream team. It was a dream - Ignatieff has to go and I'm not sure Ray has been all that loyal either, publicly criticizing Dion's decision not to renew the extreme anti-terrorism laws. Too bad, it could have been amazing but egos sure get in the way.
