Ad Watch: Ignatieff Gets Personal
A series of new Liberal ads have hit the airwaves. In the first, Ignatieff talks a bit about his past, and ties it in to the Liberals’ just launched pension policy: Then, Ignatieff responds to the Tory attack ads…just 2 short years after they first aired: Finally, my favourite of the three, and the one […]
