Well that was a deep and thought provoking comment anon. Care to write more and elaborate?

Wow, effective ad.
Not the Rick Mercer part... doesn't fit the rest of the tone. But that's just a snotty latté-sipping artistic quibble.
Really well done imo.

Meh. Apart from the deficit and income trusts (Harper made the right call, but the Liberals have a huge opportunity to win over old people by highlighting their position on the issue), I don't' think any of those issues are things swing voters will care about.
The critical question with any ad attacking the Tories should be: will it convince the least committed 5% of the Tory vote to switch. Much better issues would be stuff like G-8 spending or the recession.

Add the "authorized by" line and put it on TV ASAP!!!

I love the style of the ad, clipping real, past news footage... and with no dorky partisan message.
But yeah, I'm surprised no one's hammered Harper harder with G8 costs. No

If the Liberals were smart these clips would be all over the TV:

Opportunity missed. They're going to lose the election because everyone thinks the Tories are the best at managing the economy.
It's not hard to see. Even the polls show the top concerns are health care and the economy.

"It's not hard to see. Even the polls show the top concerns are health care and the economy."
So, your answer is to campaign on issues nobody cares about?
