So, Justin Trudeau has become the leader of the Liberal Party of Canada. Which is awesome for him, because even though everyone thinks he's just a pretty face with a famous name, I think he actually could institute some change in this country. Unlike Mr. Harper and his decision to cut cultural programs, and use the funding for expensive jets which we have little to no use for. Also, the same guy pulled us out of a commission for droughts. Out of all the countries in the UN we're the only one who was like- nah, fuck it bro. We've got most of the world's fresh water resources, so screw those who don't have water. annndd I'm pretty sure Harper's an Android. I've never seen a picture of the man smiling where it doesn't look like it pains him to do so.

However, what do the conservatives do as soon as Justin Trudeau gets party leadership? What they do best of course.Within 24 hours of the end of the Liberal convention- boom- Attack Ad.
It's like Conservatives... I'm getting real tired of your shit. Are your policies really that shit that you need to make attack ads SLANDERING the opponent? Why can't you be like the American candidates and make us hate you through terrible ad campaigns about yourself? (ie. Like Rick Perry) Ever since I was born, 22 years ago, the conservatives have been using the worst slew of attack ads ever. They started by crossing the line in 1993 with the face campaign, where they intercut pictures of Jean Chretien's face with different quotes and such saying " Is this a Prime Minister". They didn't necessarily mean to make it sound like they were attacking Chretien personally, just his policies. However, due to the nature of the ad it made it sound like they were poking fun at Chretien's facial deformity- ie. the fact that one side of his face was paralyzed due to Bell's palsy. Here's the news report that contains pieces of the ad.

Then with the sponsorship scandal they had new fodder for their cannons, and were able to gain power in the country. There was the campaign about Stephane Dion " Not a Leader", and for Michael Ignatieff " Just Visiting", now there's Justin's attack ads- which are coming out two years before an election is even in sight. They took things he said fourteen years ago, as well as a video of him doing a fake strip tease for charity- which they didn't mention it was for charity and made him look like a college fratboy stripping for crowds.
It was asinine, and uncalled for.
Seriously Conservatives, when are you going to grow up and start showing what you're going to do for Canada instead of bashing the opponents? Make us believe that you're going to stand up for the rights of Canadians, instead of stomp on them. Is that really too difficult?
