When it comes to watching golf or debate prep

When it comes to watching golf or debate prep, Liberal Leader Michael Ignatieff says there’s no, well, debate.Asked what he did on his down day from the campaign Sunday to prepare for the leaders’ debates this week, Ignatieff told reporters Can Anyone Else Replace The Status Of Woods  he got ready for the verbal showdowns “watching the back nine (holes) at the Masters” golf tournament on television.Like the top golfers, Ignatieff said, the leaders will need “nerves of steel” when they confront each other on national TV on Tuesday and Wednesday nights.He said the debates are a good opportunity to speak directly to the Canadian people because “all the filters fall away” when the leaders face off that way.The decision was even funnier to Canuck-stereotype-loving Americans. Articles about it made the Republican-friendly website The Daily Caller, the Dow Jones-owned financial website MarketWatch, and even the influential legal blog The Volokh Conspiracy, where George Mason University professor Ilya Somin offered a three-paragraph economics-based defence of Canadians’ “rational” preference for the hockey game.
