He is the most interesting man in the World. Begging pardon from Dos Equis (Mexica's finest beer), our ads to sell our man should be roughly akin to their hilarious beer ads.
We have our own "international man of mystery". Someone who has adventured around the globe - every Canadian kids childhood dream (okay, after playing in the NHL). Ignatieff is a swashbuckling international adventurer, and his pen was his sword.
Our ads SHOULD include some tasteful clips of Michael reporting from the war zone (with voice overs explaining his clear understanding of international affairs); some good clips of his BookTV interviews...
REform-a-Tory ideologues are morons - let them pretend that being worldly means being an "elitist". Most thoughtful citizens WANT an elite performer to be their PM/leader. My beer-chugging, Rockstar-playing buddies would make shitty PMs... Seriously. When the Prime Minister of India is an Oxford graduate, just how does a college dropout from Canada relate to such a man to help smooth over an international trade deal? Answer? Harper doesn't. We need the best of our best in our international diplomatic corps, and in our Parliament, so we can continue to secure the international deals which make Canada's own economy prosper.
We are an export-focused, resource-based economy, that is trying to move to a more "knowledge economy" model, and no Reform-a-tory is able to facilitate that. Science and research goes against the grain of everything they believe in.

Let's just get this election on with... Ignatieff the former WAR CORRESPONDENT, diving in and out of combat zones with balls of steel (and several TV shows), and Harper, the chunky, basement-dwelling pimple-faced teen grown up, with serious Napoleon complex, a dictator fetish, with less than half the cajones it would take to walk anywhere NEAR a warzone. Our guy's the international swashbuckling marauder, and Harper's the wimp that couldn't find any friends in all of Ontario...
Perhaps Iggy CAN speak French in Russian...?
