“The prime minister of Canada has only one job, and that is to unite Canadians and never divide them, and that, Mr. Harper does not understand.“
- Michael Ignatieff
Like millions of immigrant Canadians, I am a proud Canadian. Is it a sin to be born outside of Canada? It is wrong for Stephen Harper and the Conservative to air attack ads branding Michael Ignatieff, Leader of the Official Opposition, as a lesser Canadian and leader simply because Ignatieff worked outside of Canada for many years. How does Harper think his attack ads are doing to Canadians born outside of Canada like me?
Michael defended himself and posted this YouTube reply.

Yes, it is wrong for the Tories to air attack ads essentially impugning the citizenship of another political leader. It’s wrong in no uncertain terms. Michael Ignatieff’s Canadian citizenship is not open to debate.
Just like it was wrong for the Liberals to air attack ads suggesting Stephen Harper would summarily declare martial law if elected.
