Ottawa

Just call him Iggy

As noted elsewhere, the NDP have released two radio ads—in keeping with personal policy, they won’t be posted here—that attack the Liberal decision to let the federal budget pass.

Around the Ottawa bureau though, we are currently debating whether the ads mispronounce the Liberal leader’s surname.

In the opinion of John and I it’s pronounced “Ig-Na-Ti-Uff.”

In the opinion of the NDP it’s “Ig-Na-Chuf.”

A request for clarification has been filed with the opposition leader’s office. Stay tuned for further developments.
