  • JaysonMcEwen@M_Ignatieff No, you didn't, actually. STOP w/ the platitudes! Stop talking to CDN's like we're all fools. I beg you. Honestly. #elxn41 #db8
  • UhtredU@M_Ignatieff Did good tonight, don't get why people said you showed nothing. Harper's the one that avoided imp issues like the plague #db8
  • Prousinator69@M_Ignatieff Doesn't share mine!
  • Silveranarchy@M_Ignatieff just like the Russians showed your family at the turn of the 19th century? Once an elitist, always an elitist.
