Comments: My very own Liberal campaign ads
Comment by Bruce Rheinstein:

The Hitler comparisons are too yesterday. The Grits would use Dubya in every comparison -- dog owner, etc. The theme is Harper is going to turn Canada into a police state -- just like Bush's AmeriKKKa.

Like the New York Times, the ads are beyond parody.

Comment by John B:

Damian - I think you're pulling your punches.

Stephen Harper met a soldier once.

Stephen Harper now wants to put soldiers in your town. The town where your children play and go to school.

He wants to put them in every town

Lots of soldiers, with guns, all unregistered.

Just like George Bush.

Choose your Canada.

Comment by Brian:

Stephen Harper likes to eat Chili
Chilli has beans in it
Beans give people Gas
Is Stephen Harper in Bed with the Gas Companies or Maybe His love for Chilli means he wants to put Millitant Rebels in uniforms in our cities like they do in Chile.

You know us Liberals we always tell the truth, we never try and lie and decieve Canadians,
Ok there was that one time about the GST oh yeah and Free Trade, and Sponsorship Funds, and Dave Dingwall, but really it's not our fault, that was all in the past we've changed so you don't have to, choose your Canada, Chhose Your Poison

Comment by SoCalJustice:

Unfortunately, there are too many Canadians that are like Hitler.

Fortunately, Harper isn't one of them.

But you've got the classic Akenahew/Zundel fun.

Then you've got this prick:

Which leads to crap like this:

So here's another potential ad:

Chief Akenahew votes Harper!

Comment by Alberta Cowboy:

On October 22, Scott Reid said "Alberta can blow me."

That's right: the official spokesperson for Paul Martin and the Liberal Party.

Got loaded at the annual National Press Club event.

In Ottawa.

Got loaded and mouthed off to Don Martin

Not Paul Martin. Don Martin. Of the Calgary Herald.

Is Scott Reid looking for some Brokeback Mountain-style action from the cowboys in Alberta?

We don't know.

Does Scott Reid think he should apologize to Alberta?

He's not saying.

Does Paul Martin approve of Mr. Reid's attitude towards Alberta voters?

We don't know.

Neither are saying.

This is the message from the top of the Liberal party.

The party that touts itself as the defender of Canadian unity.

The Liberals. Paul Martin's Liberals.

We're not making this up.

Choose your Canada.

Comment by Gabby in QC:

Paul Martin believes in a woman's right to choose.
You know who also believes in a woman's right to choose?
Sheila.
No, not that one.
Sheila Copps.
That's who.
What was her choice?
We all know.
And we're glad she's made it.

Comment by Polunatic:

What everyone has glossed over is that Dubya's grandaddy Prescott had his assets seized under the "Trading with the Enemy Act" for doing business with Hitler's financial architects.

[External Link]

So, under the "6 degrees of separation" rule, the Harper-Hitler connection goes Hitler - Prescott Bush - Dubya - Harper. That's only 3 degrees of separation.

Of course that doesn't make Harper a Nazi-symp any more than it does Dubya.

Comment by Fred:

Ad 1: Harper’s sinister shopping spree

One evening in late December, our cameras caught Stephen Harper going into a Calgary store.

Not just any store.

“Toys R Us” is an American retailer whose profits go to New Jersey.

Yeah, that New Jersey.
Home to gangsters Frank Sinatra, Tony Soprano and Ice-T.

Mr Harper said he was shopping for his kids.

Harper’s co-religionists buy gifts to commemorate the birth of a child in Palestine, some 2005 years ago, who became a carpenter and local rabble rouser.

So Mr Harper is a last minute shopper who supports American businesses in fend- for- yourself Alberta and recognizes Christian holidays.

Is that the kind of person you want running our country?

Choose your Canada



Ad 2: GST gyrations

The Liberal party pledged to fight the introduction of GST, because it is a regressive tax that punishes lower income Canadians.

Now, we’re fighting to stop Stephen Harper from cutting the GST, because now cutting it would hurt lower income Canadians.

In Canada.

Whose modest incomes are most eroded by the GST.

Vote Liberal. We ARE making this stuff up.

Ad 3: Environment and foreign affairs

Prime Minister Paul Martin will defend Canada against the United States, as he did when he scolded the Americans for not signing the Kyoto Accord.

Yeah, that Kyoto Accord.

The one that tries to limit greenhouse gases, whose emissions have grown much faster in Canada than in the USA.

Ask yourself: Would Yankee-loving Stephen Harper have had the guts to criticize the Americans on greenhouse gases when they’re doing much better controlling them than we are?

Paul Martin did.

Vote Liberal. We’ll diss the USA whenever it’s expedient. And you’ll thank us for it.

Ad 4: Handguns

Handguns have been effectively banned in Canada for 30 years, through a very rigourous permitting process.

Yet gun crime persists in Toronto, perpetrated mostly by disadvantaged youths who prefer their weapons unregistered.

Which party leader has the determination to ban handguns again and keep right on banning them until no more legal handguns remain?

Not Stephen Harper.

Paul Martin does.

Vote Liberal. This time we really mean it.


Ad 5: Notwithstanding

The notwithstanding clause allows governments to override judicial decisions. This could come in handy in the event a court wants to, say, strike down medicare.

Stephen Harper says he won’t use it.

The government of Quebec has used it to enforce its language laws.

Paul Martin had said he might use it to prevent churches from being forced to conduct same sex marriages.

Now, Paul Martin proposes to legislate away the clause. The idea came to him so suddenly that it didn’t appear in a policy book published hours before he announced it.

That’s the kind of quick thinking we need from our leaders.

Vote Liberal: to hide our agenda, we’d need to have one.

Alternate tag: Vote Liberal: We are making this stuff up, as we go along

Ad 6: Childcare

Our national daycare plan is the first major new social program in a generation. It illustrates crucial difference between us and the Conservatives: Liberals believe that government can help Canadians help themselves, as we did with our sponsorship program.

Some object that the Liberal program leaves out the half of Canadian families who choose to have one parent stay home.

Of course it does. How else could we motivate people to get out into the workforce and pay taxes?

Another key distinction: the Liberal daycare plan takes resources out of the unsteady hands of selfish parents, who might use the Conservative’s childcare allowance to buy salty snacks or carbonated beverages. We put parental authority firmly in the hands of the state, where it belongs. We really do know best.

We’ll run your national daycare program with the buttoned- down managerial efficiency you’ve come to expect from Liberals after 12 years. How much more complicated and expensive could national daycare be than, say, running a gun registry?

Vote Liberal. We’ll make those daycare numbers sing.

Ad 7: National Unity

No Albertan-led party can rival the Liberal Party’s illustrious track record on national unity.

Remember that Justice Gomery exonerated Paul Martin’s team of any wrongdoing. That anyone could believe that the government’s Chief Financial Officer and leading Quebec minister had any inkling of malfeasance is preposterous.

Having presided over an unprecedented rise in the fortunes of Quebec’s sovereigntist movement and given birth to a separatist movement in Alberta, only the Liberal Party can douse separatist flames in both regions.

Vote Liberal. We lit the fire. We’ll stomp it out.

Comment by tim rainville:

Over 2 billion dollars has been spent on the Gun Registry

To protect Canadians!

Canada has been saved from the threat of Inuits, prairie farmers and duck hunters from coast to coast.

Stephen Harper wants to abolish the gun registry.

Does Stephen Harper want a crazed western farmer to kill you while you sleep with a rabbit gun.

We don't know.

He's not saying.

Choose your Canada and your ammunition!

[External Link]I love this little website, the pictures say it briliantly.

I think George Carlin described Harper very well :

'I've seen this all before: it was in old black and white newsreels. The trouble is i couldn't understand any of it because the narration was in German. '
