Ignatieff's support is sure to go up in Quebec once Quebeckers find out that he hates Canada. So that reasoning is just brilliant.
Ignatieff doesn't hate Canada, so let's not get into that type of sillyness. However, perhaps Ignatieff should say he hates Canada in order to further increase his support in Quebec as you suggest.
In any event, I was pointing out the way history has actually gone for the past several decades and that is that the top federalist leader in Quebec usually wins the election - that is one reason why Harper is still in trouble. This is not an exact science though so as I said there are no guarantees for Ignatieff.
What I am trying to do is look at the leaders' chances objectively rather than posting mile long lists predicting that the NDP can win 500 seats in the next election.
