Michael Ignatieff's big policy speech from Thursday in Ottawa was actually pretty good (for a Liberal.) But this struck me as unadulterated BS:
"I respect American institutions but I don't want to live in a country where 40 million citizens don't have health care," he said to strong applause during a question-and-answer session with his audience. And he said he didn't like being part of an American society with capital punishment and where "a woman's right to choose is still a battleground" and same-sex marriage is not protected by law.
Ummm, he was happy to live in that country with those problems and those laws for 30-odd years.
UPDATE: I made an error here (see comments). Ignatieff spent some of the last 30 years living in the U.K., not just the U.S.
