Is this the same Michael Ignatieff who has raised a storm of division in the Liberal Party over his asssertion Quebec is a nation (and subsequently backpedalled)? The same leader aspirant the savvy, iconoclastic Norman Spector dismisses in the Nov. 13 issue of the Globe as a "gaffe-prone academic who's detached from Canada"?
Think so. Ignatieff has a reputation for shooting from the hip, both barrels blazing downward.
