Former Liberal leader Micheal Ignatieff went to a gun fight armed with a knife........That from former Saint John and Fundy Royal M-P Paul Zed about the negative, American style attack ads the Conservatives used to frame Ignatieff even before the election was called. Zed condemns the attack ads but concedes they did work because Ignatieff was not able to recover.
Zed says the Liberal party will have to rebuild from the ground up and get more women involved. He argues there's no shortage of leadership potential within the party.
As for people not knowing what the Liberals stand for these days, Zed tells CHSJ News for the past ten years the party has not been able to hone a message and will have to renew itself which should have taken place after winning a minority in 2004.
Zed maintains part of that renewal should include involving more women in the process.
