Gatecrasher: Family Background

Better Future Dept: Their previous ads -- with taglines like: "Just visiting," "Just in it for himself," and "Didn't come back for you" -- cast the Liberal leader as a gatecrasher who arrived too late to the politics party. This time, Ignatieff's own family background finds itself front and centre, according to CTV. In a video called "This is who I am" posted earlier this month on the Liberal website, Ignatieff talks about how his father George came to Canada on a boat in 1928 "with nothing," to give his children a chance at a better future," and "lived that immigrant dream, up the ladder one rung at a time." The ad campaigns have just begun, but already the Conservatives are painting Michael Ignatieff as out of touch with average Canadians. In fairness, it's the Liberals themselves who made Ignatieff's origins an issue. As reported in the news.
