Election Strategy: Liberal Leader

Michael Ignatieff Dept: "I don't think it treats people with respect," he said of the words "ethnic vote," which feature in Conservative election strategy, according to Vancouver Sun. True, but just as the Conservatives are desperately trying to gain ground in ridings heavily populated with recent immigrants in suburban Toronto and elsewhere, the Liberal party is desperately trying to hold on to some of those ridings, by whatever name they may call the voters in question and liberal leader Michael Ignatieff is being disingenuous when he implies, as he did this week, that his party is not targeting ethnic voters in this election. "These are Canadians." As reported in the news.
