Just one of the many things said by Quebec Liberal MP Denis Coderre yesterday that angered some Liberals was the blame he hoisted on the "advisers from Toronto."
Coderre suggested it's hard to do Quebec politics from Toronto.
And yes, for the record, there are a lot of close advisers around Michael Ignatieff who do happen to be from Toronto: Ian Davey (chief of staff), Jill Fairbrother (director of communications) and Rocco Rossi (national party director) to name but a few.
As it turns out those "Toronto advisers" didn't really care for such a comment. Or at least, Rocco Rossi didn't.
Rossi tweeted today that he is "proud to be a Canadian who happens to come from Toronto."
And on his status on Facebook, "notes my passport says "Canadian" not "Torontonian."
Turns out, it's not just Ignatieff dealing with the Coderre fallout.
