Where have all the good people gone?

You take the high road and I'll take the low road...

Liberal campaign ads were released this past weekend. As I have Michael Ignatieff on my Facebook (woooheewwwww) I was privy to be the first to know about said ads and, as such, I promptly viewed them upon learning of their posting.

I must say - despite having made my dissatisfaction with the Liberal party known in the last year - the ads are good. Finally a party (not surprisingly but thankfully it is the Libs!) are moving away from the negative slander ads that have come to define Canadian electoral campaigning. Despite the useless and offensive ads the Tories released earlier this year which criticized Ignatieff for having too "France French" an accent, among other things, the Liberals latest batch of ads actually do what a campaign ad is MEANT to...Ignatieff explains why the Liberals SHOULD be elected, not why another party SHOULD NOT be elected.

Conservaties, NDP and even Greens...take note. Canadians are tired of listening to and watching the cheesy and dramatic slander ads that typify negative campaigning in Canada. This move on the Liberals part is wise and well worth a watch.

Catch a few on Ignatieff's facebook page here or on youtube here.
