After watching the segment on CTV Newsnet regarding the Conservative Attack Ads, I now have a true distaste for the blatant smugness that Pierre Poilievre exhibits. However, this seems typical across most Conservative MPs, yet they used to accuse the Liberals of being smug a disappointingly countable number of years ago.
The new Attack Ads are smart in that they are defining the message of what Dion's proposal is all about, before Dion has even really explained what he plans to do. I do not blame the Conservatives for jumping in, when they were so feverish to define Dion as a non-Leader, this is just a natural progression for their party.
I could go in so many different directions right now about why their party has become the non-Leading party, or why the culture of the Conservative Party no longer means trying to govern towards a better Canada, but rather governing such that every item for view by the public eye, however few, is completely motivated to (attempt to) enhance the Conservative party's image rather than improving our country.
The decision to release another set of Attack Ads is partly motivated by an attempt to bully the other parties, not only trying to bash the messenger but also to thump their chest with the depth and velocity of political contributions to their party.
The fact that their ads do not have the Conservative Party logo on them means they are pretending to represent an unbiased point-of-view. Kind of like paying for your own experts to tell you something that you want to hear. I'd laugh to know who actually believes the Attack Ads are not purely the Conservative opinion and actually unbiased.
Enough for now, there is a glass of Chardonnay with my name on it.
