First off, i want to say that I'm looking forward to seeing how long one party can go on calling itself Canada's New Government, I mean it's already over a year old, is a baby still a newborn after its first birthday? Is a couple still newlywed after a year? Harper is 47 years old, can you say midlife crisis?
Anyway, it looks like Jason Kenny will be announcing a new add campaign tomorrow. My guess is that it will be something depicting the New Government's new love of the environment, and maybe, if they have the balls, attacking Dion's environmental record. Maybe they will also sing their own praises on the child care allowance and the GST cut, you never know. I'm sort of looking forward to this, I mean Tory ads are normally entertaining (nothing beats a deflating balloon), the CBC needs some good commercials, and if an election comes soon, theres nothing wrong with a public already sick of Conservative TV-spots.

Thats good!!!
What exactly was his record? A record increase in green house gasses!

Actually KB, if you want to be "exact" about his record, greenhouse gases fell during the 18 months he was environmental minister.
though greenhouse gases have climbed over the past decade - no one is denying that. but you want to be precise about Dion so there you have it.
Oh, and he was environmental minister when they developed the environmental plans Harper just announced.
Yeah, you read that right.
So, it would be sort of ballish to take that line of attack, now wouldn't it?
Attack ads at this point seems like a miscalculation to me. First, it undermines the government's line that they don't want an election soon; you can still say you don't want an election, but when you're running attack ads against the other guy it looks a lot like one to most people; second, you run the risk of wasting all your best stuff before the campaign, by which point the public has either become immune to it or else the opposition has found a means of neutralizing it.
Good words.
