I recently saw the first negative commercial in the coming avalanche of election entertainment. Apparently Justin Trudeau is just not ready yet. The message I understand is, finally P.M.S. Harper has paid for an ad. Hooray!
While in power, Mr. Harper has spent the better part of $1 billion of taxpayers’ money promoting his views about what Canada should be: enrol in the army, we will support veterans, we make it easy for you to pay your taxes, check the expiration date on your child’s car seat, let’s remember the 150th anniversary of the founding fathers on year 147, beware of the scourges of marijuana use, prescription drug abuse, bullying, cyber-bullying...
It seems somewhat ironic that what Mr. Harper is willing to pay for, out of his own pocket, could be considered bullying or even cyber-bullying. Any parent knows that a policy of ‘’do as I say, not as I do’’ is no way to gain trust and respect from their children. Canadians will vote for the party they most trust and respect in the coming election, and Mr. Harper isn’t doing himself any favours.
