Ignatieff starts whirl-wind (pre-election?) tour

Liberal leader will hit 20 ridings in 11 days

Liberal leader Michael Ignatieff will visit 20 ridings—all of which are held by rival parties—over the course of a 11-day tour starting today. Ignatieff hinted in December he could force an election this spring. One strategist told CBC News Ignatieff¹s new message is simple: “If you vote NDP or Bloc to send Harper a message, you get Harper.” Among the tour stops are Winnipeg South, Richmond, B.C., Acadie-Bathurst in New Brunswick, and a Bloc-held riding in Montreal.
