I Hope This Gets A Lot Of Airplay
Here is the newest NDP ad, a clever sendup of the Conservative record using the job interview format so favoured by the Tories in their attacks on Trudeau.
I like the ad, but wonder if the NDP have to run it a lot. After seeing it once, I will think of it everytime the reformatory ad runs. The NDP can relax and let the CPC pay for ads that make you think Harper is a failure. Neat trick.
The cons may have to pull their ad to stop the bleeding.
Seeing them "hoisted upon their own petard," as my literary friend Hamlet would say, Rumley, is indeed gratifying. BTW, I love your reference to "the reformatory ad"!
Lorne, the opposition parties have such a wealth of material to work with, thanks to a decade of abuse and excess by this prime minister, but probably lack the resources to really exploit it.
Perhaps they could tack on a simple-to-remember URL where people could go to find a digest of all the scandals and corruption, something modeled on a bill of indictment.

Great idea, Mound. I also like Rumley's above observation.
