Michael Ignatieff Biography |
Michael Ignatieff (born 1947) is a noted Canadian scholar and novelist. He is the son of noted Canadian George Ignatieff.
Michael went to Upper Canada College secondary school and then studied political science at University College in the University of Toronto. There he met fellow student (and later Premier of Ontario) Bob Rae, who became a longtime close friend.
