To the back of the bus with Pierre

In all their stupid attack ads, the Cons accuse Ignatieff of just visiting.  They say that spending time outside the country is a bad thing.

I have travelled all across the world, lived in the US, worked in Asia, South America and Europe. One of the things that I learn when I go abroad is the etiquette and sensibilities of my host country.

I know that I do not show the bottoms of my feet in parts of Asia.  I know that Brits do not like to be called Limies and I certainly know that tar-babies is considered a pejorative terms in many parts of the world, including the US south.

Maybe the Cons, including our local MP, should quit and spend a bit more time on sensitivity training and getting to know the world.
