A tale of two fainters

As I read this passage from Aaron Wherry's essay on Michael Ignatieff's travels in the Toronto-area today with the Liberal Express...

About a half hour into an event in a courtyard in downtown Oakville, a middle-aged woman fainted. A doctor in the crowd stepped forward to attend and an ambulance called. She was out for a minute, then opened her eyes. Michael Ignatieff who had been shaking hands and posing for pictures, came over to check on the woman, holding her hand for a bit, then comforting her husband. The paramedics put a brace around her neck, then lifted her onto a backboard and carried her away.
...I couldn't help but be reminded of this video...

Yup. That's one big difference between Harper and Iggy. Iggy's human.
