Amongst the sea of red of Liberal supporters, there was sizeable turnout of people hoping to stop the construction of the power plant. Ignatieff also took time during his Oakville stop to criticize Prime Minister Stephen Harper. Ignatieff spoke about atomic energy and how Canada used to lead the world in nuclear technology and research. "Now we can't even get a darned reactor back online after 14 months. This is on Harper's watch. We used to lead in the provision of medical isotopes to the whole world. He's walked away from Canadian nuclear. It's a disaster. This (Liberal) party will walk us back into leadership in nuclear energy," Ignatieff said. "When we have a government that has a Parliament that gets in its way, they shut Parliament down. When we have a public servant that says something is going wrong in Afghanistan, he has his reputation trashed in public by a minister of the Crown. When you have a great opportunity for Canada to shine on the world stage at the G8/G20, the Prime Minister changes the venue at the last moment, adds a billion dollars to the cost, stages a 72-hour photo opportunity by a fake lake and we get nothing out of it but the bill," he said. Ignatieff also condemned the spending of $17 billion on a Joint Strike Fighter contract for fighter jets that, he said, were not competitively bid. He said the Liberals offer a change. "We're the big red tent at the centre of Canadian political life. We believe in compromise, honourable compromise. We believe in seeking a consensus. We believe in seeking the common way." He also put a call out to supporters of the former PHOTOS BY ERIC RIEHL / SPECIAL TO THE BEAVER THE BIG RED TENT: Above, left, downtown Oakville's Towne Square was awash with red and white Canadian flags and red Liberal Party signs -- as well as red-and-white anti-power plant signs -- as federal Liberal Party Leader Michael Ignatieff stopped in Oakville Saturday. Turnout was good where Ignatieff spent nearly two hours meeting residents -- urging them to vote for local federal Liberal candidate Max Khan (inset above).

"We want to draw into the party all those Progressive Conservatives, and there may be some of you in the audience, wondering where the progressive went in Conservatives. Well, I'll tell you where it went, into the Liberal Party and the big red tent," he said. He also spoke to NDP and the Green Party voters who want to protect their children, the environment, wildlife habitat and land. "I respect your political choices and your political values, but the one sure consequence of voting for those parties in the next federal election is you get four more years of Stephen Harper and you won't get an environmental progress if you do that." He added the Liberal Party can lead to things such as making early learning and childcare available to every Canadian family, making post-secondary education affordable, helping people who provide home care and standing up for human rights globally. To help the Liberal Party, he asked the people of Oakville to cast a vote for Oakville Liberal candidate Max Khan. "We have got a fabulous candidate in Oakville. He's a family man, he works for this council. He has municipal experience. He knows every alley, every street, every business, he knows it all. You can't be a good representative unless you've got the texture and feel of a place in your veins and this man does and I need him in Ottawa." Rob Wallace was one of many in the audience bearing signs with a message to stop the power plant.

The woman's condition was unknown at press time.
