He's on record as saying he had "no desire to ever return to Canada" in the past.
Harper's recent attack ads aren't just propaganda - they're simply fact. And they should provide food for thought to every voting Canadian.
You want to return to a Liberal government? Is the collective memory so short it doesn't recall the Chretien-orchestrated Quebec scandal? The nepotism and funneling of money into francophone-based ad agencies?
The Liberals are as crooked as a snake's back - nothing has changed.

Well what's interesting is the sponsorship scandal was a conspiracy to fight the seperatist tendencies and keep the country unified. Yes, it was as corrupt as corrupt can get. But all politicians and political organizations are corrupt.
And it wasn't bad for Canada. It sucked for a minority political party in Canada.
Regardless of that one scandal that the Liberals got caught red-handed at (and Chretien maintained and honourably defended his plausible deniability in Gommery's face to the end, and I give him kudos for all that and more in his carreer), it's a fact that we have come out of every Liberal government with a surplus in this country and stronger trade agreements (again vastly generalized but...) whereas the Mulroneys and conservative governments have fucked us in the ass as a global, political and mercantile entity.
Also, it was a Liberal Govt. that told Bush to stick Iraq up his butt and rotate. Harper would have kneeled at the feet of the Burnout Bush and asked please may I have another.
Like most politicos Ignatieff is a blueblood, uppercrust over-educated whiff. But he seems to have philosophy, and not an agenda.
Since about 2003, Harper's been sinking his overt ultra-right-wing Preston Manning psycho prairie-boy lust for God and cows under mainstream demand for some kind of replacement of the Progressive Conservatives in order to get elected but he hasn't managed past a minority government.
If Harper had a majority, his mask would come off and we'd end up paying taxes to the IRS and listening to Lawrence Welk reruns on the Harper Happiness Hour.
