Toronto residents with Ukrainian roots are protesting Michael Ignatieff's bid to run for the Liberals in their riding.Unfortunately, last time Martin and company imposed their will on a local riding association they weren't quite punished with a loss at the polls. And as Etobicoke-Lakeshore won't have an incumbent pushing back, it doesn't look like Martin's lack of respect for the locals will cost him anything within the riding.
The Etobicoke-Lakeshore riding is held by Liberal MP Jean Augustine but she has reportedly resigned so Mr. Ignatieff can run for election...
Members of the Etobicoke Lakeshore Federal Liberal Riding Association claim the Liberals are trying to make it easy on Mr. Ignatieff at the expense of other contenders.
That said, hopefully the rest of the country is paying attention to the fact that PMPM remains more than willing to impose edicts from on high if it'll push another high-profile supporter into Parliament. And that's a far more clear statement on his true views about democracy than the number of cabinet ministers supposedly charged with reforming or renewing it.
