LIBERALS
Target: People who are beginning to suspect that maybe the Conservatives haven’t bought into the whole “transparency and accountability” thing they once promised. Hammers the government for Bev Oda’s editorial skills and everything that’s followed her changing of government documents.
Message summary: Stephen Harper is lying and protecting lying liars who lie. Did we mention the lies?
Campaign tone: We’re beginning to suspect the Liberals will make Conservative honesty, and the alleged lack thereof, a campaign issue.
Grade: B+. Briefly manages to make Harper sound as unpleasant as Conservative ads have made Ignatieff, so points for that. Also, the other Liberal attack ad actually features Ignatieff himself talking to the camera. More of this from all parties, please—if they need to sling mud, we’d like to see actual pols getting dirty.
