Michael Ignatieff: The Canadian Press

Canada Dept: OTTAWA -- Michael Ignatieff has clarified he doesn't actually believe Quebec's secession from Canada is inevitable, according to Winnipeg Free Press. "Nothing is inevitable in politics and nothing would be so undesirable as separation," Ignatieff said in an email to The Canadian Press and paul Chiasson / THE CANADIAN PRESS ARCHIVES Michael Ignatieff said his remarks to the BBC were taken out of context. The former Liberal leader was forced to backpedal Tuesday after his prediction of Canada's eventual breakup was repudiated by federalist allies, the party he used to lead and, most directly, by his former college roommate, old friend and erstwhile leadership rival Bob Rae.
