Michael Ignatieff shows he can relate to the kids these days: “If I had to tell you as a parent or as someone who has spent his whole life working with young people, the last darn thing I want you to be doing is smoking marijuana,” the federal Liberal leader said. “I want you to […]

Harper’s pre-taped YouTube interview is late getting started – now 15 minutes and counting… UPDATE: And the video is up!
