Hi, I’m Michael Ignatieff
New Liberal ads are out today. Here’s the English one: Refreshingly positive and a good, subtle counter to Just Visiting. The French ads are, quite literally, a bit darker:

Media for Nothing, and the Ads for Free
Oily the splot may not air. While some will try to spin this as a Tory screw-up, as far as screw-ups go, getting a few days worth of wall-to-wall publicity for your ads at no cost isn’t the worst screw-up a party can make. Anyone know what a front page colour ad on the Toronto […]

Tax Attack
They defined Dion before the Liberals could and now the Tories have set out to define Dion’s carbon tax before the Liberals can. Which is fair enough since Dion has yet to announce the specifics of his plan. Yesterday, the Conservatives showed typical governing party maturity with this online story, which I can only assume […]

The Man With No Plan
I don’t know a lot about the “Albertans for Change” group but they certainly appear organized and well funded. Few Alberta opposition parties have had the dough to run commercials in recent elections but this group, composed of Alberta unions, is now airing three attack ads directed towards the Premier. With ominous music, black and […]

On the Attack
The Tories have pounced on Dion’s somewhat misguided GST musings with a new attack ad. Apparently Dion has made “billions of dollars” in spending promises which is news to me because, outside of the environment, I haven’t really heard any promises. We also learn in the ads that 5 4 3.5 10 a nebulous number […]

"I’m a Liberal. And I’m a PC…"
Since my fellow libloggers are being shy about posting the new YLC ads, and everyone probably missed them yesterday, I figured I’d toss them up here. Bottom line – they’re clever and funny, which is what you want in a viral ad campaign.

Stephane Dion is not a hero. You know who is a hero? Hiro. From Heroes.
Unable to break into majority government territory, Stephen Harper’s Conservatives have turned to the burning issue on everyone’s mind this spring…yes…Senate Reform! An exciting series of new ads attack Dion for…zzzz…..sorry, I’m already sleepy just thinking about the topic. That’s right, apparently Liberal Senators are delaying Harper’s Senate Reform Bill. Uh-oh. If this doesn’t spur […]

Take Two
The second Liberal Ad is similar to the first, adding the Al Gore glacier, a cute baby, and a few words from Stephane Dion.

Monsieur President
The Liberals have a new TV ad out today and, after skewering their french radio ads last week, I can safely give this one the thumbs up. Even though it’s an ad about the environment, it’s not really an ad about the environment. This is undeniably a response to Tory messaging that Dion is a […]

They’ll Go Neg
The Liberals have released three new radio ads in Quebec which attack Harper for going negative. It’s not quite as bizarre as the “they’ll go neg” ads the Conservatives ran after Christmas last year since those ads accused the Liberals of going negative before the Liberals ran negative ads but, at the same time, those […]
