When you put your ear to the rail of Canadian life, you hear something very special. You hear the desire for a message of hope. A message of hope built on concrete solutions to the real challenges facing Canadian families. Yesterday, I rallied a joint session of 200 Liberal candidates and MPs with that message to close our Winter Caucus meeting in Ottawa. (You can watch the speech, here.) metrics.mmailhost.com/?r=MTAwMg0KSjQ1ODkyLUxQQy0xLTY3MC0NCjczNTk1Ng0KMTEwMDAwMDAwMGQ1NzZhDQpodHRwOi8vbHBjLmNhL3NwZWVjaA0KdHJ1ZQ0KamltdGFrZWRhQGdtYWlsLmNvbQ%3d%3dI wish you could have seen what I saw from the podium. A packed room, wall to wall, candidates, MPs, Senators, staffers, party workers. Everybody on their feet, everybody believing in our values, and most of all, everybody believing in themselves and in the people of Canada. It was a great moment. Canadians are looking to us for leadership. To bring those concrete solutions that give them hope. The basic stuff. The important stuff. Will we be able to get by if mom or dad get sick? Are our pensions going to be secure? Will our kids be able to find jobs? Our job is to put the ground under their feet: A Family Care Plan that let’s them take care of a sick loved one. A safe retirement pension that will be there for them. Post-secondary education for their kids. Canadian families can rest their hopes on this: The Liberal Party of Canada will fight for them. And we will deliver. Watch the speech and you’ll see. Thank you. Michael Ignatieff
