Makeshift Stage: Liberal Leader

Michael Ignatieff Dept: Noting that French-speaking reporters are here from Radio Canada , he says: All of Canada is paying attention . . . Vaughan is important! Vaughan matters!, according to The Star. We need you to hold this riding, exhorts Ignatieff. We need to keep Vaughan in the Liberal camp. We need to send a message to Stephen Harper and on a night of pure political grunt work, Liberal Leader Michael Ignatieff makes his fourth stop in Vaughan, bounding onto a makeshift stage to stump for his party s candidate in the upcoming federal by-election. A crowd of about 100 people from the South Asian community mostly men gathered at an Indian restaurant for appetizers, chai and politics shout encouragement as he beseeches them to work hard. As reported in the news.
@t south asian community, grunt work
