Republicans For Ignatieff
The United States and Canada have the closest binational relationship in the world.
- The U.S. and Canada are the world's largest trading partners.
- For the past 60 years we've been partners in NATO.
- For the past 51 years we've been partners in NORAD.
- And, thanks to the tar sands, Canada is an ally with a growing supply of energy.
In short, we're friends, we're neighbors and we're allies.
Now more than ever America needs a Canadian Prime Minister we can count on. A Canadian Prime Minister who knows us. A Canadian Prime Minister who loves us.
"Now, this is coming from a Canadian who is not even a citizen of your country, but someone who has loved this country."

Michael Ignatieff
(New York Times Magazine, May 2004.)
- He didn't lose any sleep when Lebanon was bombed by Israeli forces in 2006.
"Qana was frankly inevitable in a situation in which you have rocket launchers within 100 yards of a civilian population," he told the Star. "This is the nature of the war that's going on... This is the kind of dirty war you're in when you have to do this and I'm not losing sleep about that."
Michael Ignatieff
(The Chronicle-Herald, August 14, 2006)
- He loves the tar sands.
Although the current Canadian Prime Minister is a conservative, he has challenged the United States on the Arctic, he is charting Canada's own course in the Americas, and he has failed to demonstrate a deep emotional connection to America like Michael Ignatieff.
That's why Michael Ignatieff is the best choice for Canadian Prime Minister.
