Attack ads are really helping aren't they??

I don't it see as an attack ad if it is addressing the actions of any politician. Is that what you meant?
Attack all you want as far as I'm concerned but keep it on the school grounds during school hours.
Imagine that.... A teacher.... A ski instructor.... He's in over his head....
So was Mike Harris

LOL Advocating the schoolyard bully are we? Careful you'll have CK coming after you.
And you guys loooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooved him. LOL
Love has nothing to do with it ... but that conned cool-aid only works for smoke-screen
CK? I listen to the comments made in the lobby after a session in the house during the news where it belongs, not when I'm relaxing watching The Good Wife.
It's not a matter of liking them. Attack ads are one part of the spectrum of political tools. Sometimes they're effective, sometimes they're not. It's the feedback on effectiveness that keeps them running or gets them yanked.
No smoke, just a piss poor comparison.
If you did a little fact checking you would know that Mike Harris sat as a backbencher in Bill Davis's Progressive Conservative government from 1981 to 1985. He supported Frank Miller's successful bid to succeed Davis as party leader in 1985, and took the role of rival candidate Dennis Timbrell to prepare Miller for the party's all-candidate debates. Miller was sworn in as Premier of Ontario on February 8, 1985, and appointed Harris as his Minister of Natural Resources.
The Tories were reduced to a minority government in the 1985 provincial election, although Harris was personally re-elected without difficulty. He kept the Natural Resources portfolio after the election, and was also named Minister of Energy on May 17, 1985. Time limitations prevented Harris from making many notable contributions in these portfolios, as the Miller government was soon defeated on a motion of no confidence by David Peterson's Liberals and Bob Rae's New Democratic Party.
Justin Trudeau has never even held a portfolio or sat as a bank-bencher for that matter.
Just a tad different.
You're obviously not watching the good wife enough. You should do what I did.
Cancel your cable and do everything on demand. Who needs commercials anyway.
If MPs are judged on their past working experiences and trials and tribulations of life, how did the Speaker get elected?
Actually, I read the same Wiki page as you - just to be right about ski instructor as opposed to golf pro.
Harris didn't have a Dad who was PM.
Do some research....
Do you apply that to Liberal attacks ads as well? If so, and you have a general aversion to them, not just an aversion when they're Conservative attack ads, then you have more of a point.
What difference does that make? Oh wait, are you insinuating that because his pop was PM qualifies him to the job. So why not elect this guy:
Secret ballot.
I apply it to all attack ads. They aren't an attack on politicians, they are an attack on you. Nothing more, nothing less.
Funny I don't feel attacked when I see these ADS. Maybe you should take this to the HRC.
You don't? Gees, I don't want to stoop as low as the ads and attack your intelligence. That would be doing what the ads are designed to do. Divide and conquer.
You wouldn't be attacking my intelligence. As I said, I dumped all my cable, so no commercials on my television. In fact the only political ADS I see (Attack or otherwise) are on CC or if somebody whines about them on the CBC.
I find them amusing. I find it equally amusing that people get so bent out of shape over Justin Trudeau's feelings being hurt.
