I tried to find them online, but no luck. <br /><br />The best one went something like this:"Michael Ignatieff, back in the country after 23 years. Why is he back? He has rabies. He's not in it for Canada. He's just here to give us rabies."Ward of the Statehttp://crazybitchesrus.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20358187.post-67390022687971623162009-06-01T17:19:41.973-04:002009-06-01T17:19:41.973-04:00I also saw a piece on CPAC where they were gauging...I also saw a piece on CPAC where they were gauging reaction to the ads in Ottawa's Byward Market.
