Liberal Leader Michael Ignatieff dismissed as "nonsense" Monday a government minister's assertion that it would be irresponsible to have a fall election.
At the same time, Ignatieff was noncommittal about which way he's leaning, saying he is about to consult his parliamentary caucus and will make a "serene decision" based on the country's best interest.
Isn't that typical Michael Ignatieff. He says it wouldn't be irresponsible to have an election but he can't say if he will call one and if he does it will be based on the country's best interest. Anybody who thinks that going to the polls for the second time in under a year and wasting millions of taxpayers money has to be irresponsible at best.
Ignatieff dismissed Transport Minister John Baird's assertion at an Ottawa news conference that the Liberals would hold up federal infrastructure funds vital to the economic recovery if they plunge the country into a trip to the polls.
"With the greatest respect, that's a piece of nonsense," Ignatieff told reporters. "For a guy who hasn't flowed the infrastructure to now claim the infrastructure won't flow if we have an election is just tying himself in knots."
Sp Michael flips and Michael flops. Reporters chase him with microphones and pencils in hand and nothing ever changes.
Except that in a few weeks Michael will tell us that he is again thinking about bringing down the government and having an election. Yawn, Michael, somethings never change.
