As I predicted earlier, the right-wing has begun to howl over the the Working Famalies' ad showing an actor representing Tim Hudak meeting with some corporate executives complaining about government regulations that are hampering their thirst for unlimited profits. It ends with the Hudak-actor nodding in agreement when the question is asked, "Can we go back to the old days, when you and Mike ran things?", followed by "That a boy."
According to a report in today's Star, the Hudak cabal is complaining to the Television Bureau of Canada, claiming that Working Families, a coalition of unions, is really a front for the Liberals. Conservative campaign chairman Mark Spiro says that since the meeting depicted in the ad never happened, it is a violation of the guidelines for accuracy in advertising.
Really, Mr. Spiro? Have you taken no notice of either the tone or the slanderous nature of the attack ads currently being churned out by your federal brethren?
The depth and breadth of Conservative hypocrisy is truly a thing to behold.
More than just "brethren." Spiro worked in Harper's war room in 2006 and again in 2008.
ReplyDeleteOf course we know that Mark Spiro worked in the war room in past and in this current campaign. So what. He has the knowledge and experience. He is an honourable gentleman ad he plays by the rules. The Liberals should do the same. The ad looks like a real family but of course it is not and is made up. Spiro is correct in finding fault with the ad.
