Apparently, Michael Ignatieff doesn’t read the news while on vacation.
Or if he does, he’s had it translated to him by the liberal spin doctors first. Canada is making a turn-around economy-wise, many are wondering if even the first stimulous was needed, and he’s already on a soapbox about a second. At least 70% of the initial stimulous money hasn’t rolled out the door yet, and that was supposed to have contributed to lowering the unemployment rate. Economists are saying that will be one of the last indicators that Canada’s recovering, and yet the fact it’s not improving is Ignatieff’s reason for demanding the government throw out even more money. I don’t suppose he’s been paying a whole lot of attention to what’s going on south of the border–Obamaconomy, as some are calling Barack Obama’s own stimulous, makes Canada’s look about the size of my student loan. And yet, the US unemployment rate is still expected to kiss 10%. You’d think that would tell you something. But, apparently, not if your name is Michael Ignatieff.
