Watching the Liberal’s new campaign ad titled: “Worldview” reminded me a little of the Dion video made during the coalition coup back in December 2008. That one had been shot in DVD-minicam format, out of focus and far from broadcast quality. In this new ad, the quality is a lot better. However, Michael Ignatieff squints and blinks his way through an awkward script while wearing a forced half smile on his face. In it, he states: “Wherever I’ve worked, I’ve met Canadians who are the best the world has to offer”. Obviously, he’s referring to expatriate Canadians that left this country for greener pastures just as he did. Otherwise, he should have said: “I’ve met Canadians who are the best our country has to offer”. A few years of international experience is great, it gives a person an appreciation for his home country. But an absence of more than 30 years shows a certain lack of appreciation.
