Federal Liberal leadership candidate Michael Ignatieff may have a "wonderful common touch." But his ongoing witness exploration of British Columbia's toniest neighbourhoods and private clubs suggests otherwise. This past Friday, for example, he attended a delegate/alternate and volunteer reception at a mansion in the Uplands - another confounding choice given that Mr. Ignatieff is the leadership candidate most vulnerable to accusations of elitism. Although, in the Ivy Leaguer's defense, British Columbia campaign manager David Hurford told Public Eye last week his candidate would also be attending Remembrance Day services in Victoria and visiting the historic Abbotsford Sikh Temple while in British Columbia. The following is an edited copy of the invite to that reception.

Wasn't Ignatiff out there this summer? Didn't he
pass by Sukh Dhalliwal's MP office for a political event, and then had off to Abbotsford's
historic Sikh Temple?
if so, Same people, same place.
Iggy needs to find new places to go.
Sean, your bias against MI is visible in many posts. But you have to get more creative.
Federal Liberals come to my house with and without MI, and have done so for quite some time. There is nothing worth mentioning here.
Holding events at swanky venues brings people out. Do you really think Michael Ignatieff would win many supporters if he held his events at the Balmoral Hotel on East Hastings or homes in Whalley?
So Iffy's British Columbia campaign manager lives in Manitoba? Maybe that's why Iffy underperformed so much in BC.
