Michael Ignatieff: Ignatieff

British Broadcasting Corporation Dept: The ex-Liberal leader and academic made blunt comments about the state of Canadian unity in an interview with the British Broadcasting Corporation, according to CBC. As an example, Ignatieff pointed to Canada's experience with the Quebec sovereignty movement; he said Canada reacted by transferring power to Quebec to satisfy its growing aspirations for autonomy but he suggested that situation is only temporary and less than a year after he asked Canadian voters to make him prime minister, Michael Ignatieff now warns that the country is drifting toward a breakup. Ignatieff told his audience that, whatever happens in the upcoming Scottish referendum, the United Kingdom will inevitably change as a result. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
