Ignatieff's campaign manager Ian Davey reacted angrily [to the Rae/Dion proposal], accusing both men of "playing games" and "stoking fire" on the Quebec issue since last month and now "talking about shutting down the debate from the back rooms" at next week's Montreal convention.
I guess the question to be asked is, what more do Iggy's people want? In what way does Monday's resolution not go far enough that they need more divisive discussion of the issue? Is Ignatieff still looking for ways to "officialize" what is at the moment nothing more than a frosting filled love valentine to Quebec from the ROC?
And should the rest of the Liberal party bend to Iggy's will?

The last laugh is on the Iggy campaign. With this type of behaviour they will never get the support of Kennedy and Dion delegates. Never.
I think Ignatieff wants to amend it to include the First Nations living in the province of Quebec, recognizing them as nations, too.
Or perhaps he just wants to grandstand a bit and take credit for Harper's motion?
More likely, he wants to retract what he said, and qualify it with another few statements.
