The Liberals are changing course and are now saying they will change an attack ad on health care that wrongly attributes a quote to Conservative Leader Stephen Harper.


The party had initially stood by the ad, arguing he has made similar statements in the past. But the Liberals now say they will run a poll Monday afternoon to let voters decide which Harper health-care quote they should use in the updated ad.


A spokesman for leader Michael Ignatieff said Harper has a lifetime of comments that show his opposition to universal public health care in Canada.

Liberals say they'll change health-care ad quote - Health - CBC News

"It should not matter who delivers health care, whether it is private, for profit, not for profit or public institutions, as long as Canadians have access to it regardless of their financial means," he (Harper) said.

When you're down in the polls, lie, lie, lie...

Looks like the LPoC is taking lessons from anti-Harper CC members.

Yeah...I love these hypocrites!

First crying about negative ad campaigning.........

Then bringing out their own....

At LEAST the Conservative ads were the TRUTH!

Oh, and now the Liberals say they'll change the (completely inaccurate) quote........

If the voters want them to....

After they run it for another week.....

Man, it astounds me anyone would vote for these scumballs.

This coming from the Queen of political hay, is something akin to a loud sucking noise in a Liberal mens room.

Don't hurt yourself bending over backwards to deflect Unf, and don't take it so personally, or seriously.

That's so disconcerting.

I must have really got to you yesterday big boy with all the snarky commentary today.
For such a ferocious beast, you are so sensitive and I should take more care not to fail in considering that.
And since were here, as for Ford, it's sort of in the sweet spot right now for me. We were so far left there with Miller, the swing to the right is just coming up on the middle ground now where I like to be so honestly it's not bad just now. Next year is when all the service cuts will come as he tries to walk the walk.

So, Liberal liars, find me a single Conservative attack ad where Ignatieff did not say the things attributed to him......

I see the Liberal Globe and Mail is headlining Ignatieff's 'They can dish it out, but they can't take it' BS.

Oh, and BTW, in the interests of truth, the Liberals will change the ad tomorrow, they have backed down on running it as is. Good for them. lol

The whole damn thing is so silly......much of our health care is privately delivered now, and was under Liberal management, and Harper is committed to the same 6% annual increase in health transfers that the Liberals promote...

There is no issue over health care spending here.....

I wouldn't go so far as to say it's completely inaccurate. While the quote isn't "linked to a recording or speech text" it's clear (to anybody that chooses to see) what Harper's views on the public health care is. He was, after all the VP of the NCC and they haven't been to shy about their agenda. Harper did likened Canada to a northern European welfare state. So, while nobody has a recorded quote of those precise words, there is enough smoke in the room that no reasonable person could claim it was "completely inaccurate".

I hope that wasn't meant to be more homophobic imagery intended to be used as a weapon against another poster.

Is this where you threaten to have me banned again?

Oh yippy, another self appointed cyber cop!!!

Supposed homophobic imagery by CDNBear, bad. Generalized racial slurs by Cansuck, OK...



Nope.... My ex did it all the time.... ;-)

...anything you say can and will be used....
Ya, that would be great, if someone could actually pin the comment to Harper, and not Sommerville.

I have no interest in having you banned. I just was just wondering aloud, so to speak, because once you feigned indignation because somebody used homosexuality as a weapon against another poster. Since you have done this numerous times since, I just like to point out what a hypocrite and liar you are. It's just another way that you keep me entertained....well that and it also highlights what an ignorant homophobic piece-O-crap you will be just to feebly try and score a point.

Yep. His views are exactly the same as the liberal view.

6% annual increases in the health transfer to the provinces.

A mix of public and private delivery, as the PROVINCE decides.

Well, well, well, I've known Unf for a few years, and this is a common repartee between him, RCS and I.

I can see why you would want to perceive it negatively, though. You need to manufacture things about other members, because you've failed every challenge they've presented you with.

So why don't you leave your dramatic, theatrics and lies in the closet and try them on some noob, that might actually think you're scary.

I think you're just a joke.

Sorry, that is the Conservative Party's view. I've seen and heard enough from the NCC to know that it is not Harper's view.


Very interesting that you didn't bother to deny it....yet again. I wonder what the admin's view on homophobic slurs are. You might want to consider that since you seem all to willing to use them albeit subtly

Go on, report me pumpkin.

Your threats don't scare me. Like you, their vacuous. Since you run your mouth off with racial slurs, whenever you start losing a debate on Native Nations.

To paraphrase you...

...ignorant racist piece-O-crap you will be just to feebly try and score a point...

I thought you didn't take all this so seriously Cannuck?

As I've already said, I have no interest in reporting you. My interest is in highlighting your hypocrisy and lies. Then watch you throw out "pumpkins" and "Lil Joey's" trying to deflect attention away from your pisspoor behavior. Why don't you just call people faggots when you try and shout them down. I can at least somewhat respect the direct approach.
