Alexander had been considered a potential star candidate by both the Liberals and Conservatives, both of whom actively recruited him. According to accounts given to the press, Alexander ultimately rejected Michael Ignatieff’s offer due to differences in policy over Canada’s role in Afghanistan, reportedly due to the party’s insistence on ending Canada’s combat role in 2011 (a policy subsequently adopted by the majority Conservative government of which Alexander became part).
