Ready for Justin’s carbon tax?

That's the whole problem though--despite the gaffes, the Tories have been unable to get any traction witht he negative campaign. The "Trudeau is a fag" campaign backfired big time and probably lost the Conservatives votes--deservedly so. Attack ads don't work consistently. Disgraced conservatives Mike Duffy and Tom Flanagan have both provided fodder for the oppostion characterizing Harper as spiteful. So now attack ads simply reinforce the growing notion of Harper as vindictive.
The NDP do have the most to lose. And they will likely lose it. Their successful foray into Quebec doesn't seem to have the makings of a permanenet arrangement, in my opinion. But yes, I expect Mulcair will be as vituperative as Harper. We'll see if that works--he may fall victim to the same typecast that Harper has--Angry Tom.
The attack ads have not yet started... Wait until the election is called and then we'll be seeing those ads from all parties
Not familiar with that ad compaign
Agreed, however, it also depends on the nature of the issues (gaffes) that are the potential subject matter for the ad.
All of the Parties have provided ample opportunity in this regard... My opinion is that Trudeau has offered up much more
The Liberals will likely use this circumstance to their advantage. T*t for tat
The NDP rise (in my view) was solely a function of reaction against the Liberals.... My guess is that the Libs will regain many of those lost seats.
That said, you can count on Mulcair fighting for his very survival this next go-around and his best bet is by demonizing Trudeau in any and every possible fashion
Maybe. Maybe not. Trudeau seems to be aiming for a campaign similar to Obama's first presidential run. He's even got a few insiders from that campaign on his team. Everyone said the same thing about Obama--that when the going got nasty, he start the attack ads himself. But he never did. He also mobilized the youth. And again, the orthodox view was that's a waste of time, because young people don't vote. But they did.

We'll have to wait and see how the various strategies play out.
Trudeau can employ Obama's (successful) strategies however, I'll suggest that there are enough differences that he will see different results in the election (possibly better, possibly worse).
My view is that Trudeau's potential success will come at the expense of the NDP moreso than carving seats from the Conservatives... That said, the Libs simply need to have a strong focus on Quebec and they will grow immediately.
You have no idea why he was elected as party leader.
You know nothing about Canadian politics you mean little Conservative ant of a human being.
The Liberals have one rule , An English leader then a French one.
They knew before the time of the leadership election who was going to be leader.
They always do ,moron.
When they know they won't win in the federal election they usually toss in someone in aid of the inner partisanship campaign to please the voting delegates and party faithful.
It's all just a play moron.
the Liberal Genius is above anything you can dream of.
The National Energy Program was NOT a Carbon Tax. It was attempt to bring in Federal public ownership and regulation of the key economic and energy input of Oil.. and bring it under the sphere of a National industrial strategy.
It was ill conceived at from the start, and aimed at control of retailing of oil.. rather than nationalization of natural resource and that of primary processing. The way most enlightened Oil producing countries have gone.
It was derailed by that pathetic little Provincial Potentate, Peter Lougheed who threatened to let the East 'Freeze in the Dark'. And the program was dismantled when Mulroney took power.. much to the distress of Canadian industry and consumers.. and much to the enrichment of the American Oil Industry and their running dogs and shills like Lougheed.
Everybody know Justin is a damn Fool. A chip off the Old Block, Margaret not Pierre. He is clueless, weak, in thrall of political fads what ever they may be.. AGW, homosexual legitimazion, euthenasia, Free Trade.. whatever.. He's got NO intellectual or philosophical centre whatsoever.. just a lot of wishy washy sentiment. And he'll NEVER be Prime Minister.

There are no other English Liberals besides Justin Trudeau?
That will be a problem come election time, don't you think?
