This is not an attack ad. There is a big difference between making personal attacks on people and pointing out differences in policy. "Those other guys don't love their country" would be an attack ad. "The Green Party is different because it doesn't campaign on personal attacks" - not an attack ad.

Friends, please make a little prayer for Canada on May 02, we need politicians to sober up here before they destroy such a promising fantastic young nation in less than one generation.

I don't understand the point of this party, other than to split the progressive vote.
They're not even the greenest party of them all - the NDP consistently gets higher marks from environmental organizations. And Elizabeth May used to work for Mulroney and has some questionable ideas about a woman's right to choose.
Why would anyone waste their vote on the Green Party?
You go Green! Just the sense that, although just in Canada, were making a difference to make the world more environmentally friendly makes me want to vote for you guys.
Also, I notice there is no "pending approval" on the comments here. The lib videos you can't post freely. More points for you greens. ... just don't do anything stupid. Please.
I don't get you people saying the Greens have only one view. Their platform is 133 pages! It's not 133 pages of environmental policy. If you actually researched instead of just spouting talking points designed 2 keep people from voting Green, you'd know that. Also, they want to legalize marijuana...that's always a plus.
Green Party has my vote for sure. Keep up the great work. :)
They are definitely not a one issue party. Although their platform is based on the environment they have a plan for everything if you do your research.
I do not understand why some people do not like the green party because they support the environment like it's a bad thing. Would you be happier to support a party if they were pro-pollution and destroying the Earth?
Green definitely has my vote and they are definitely not a one issue platform. Their main focus is the environment but they have a well thought out plan for everything.
I don't understand why some people are turned off and even angered by the fact Greens are pro-environment? Would they rather support a party that promotes polluting and destroying the planet?
I'm voting green. It's the most relevant campaign platform to our planet's people today and for the future. PS, she will pay for expenditures by imposing carbon taxes. Right now oil companies who heavily facilitate climate change are actually encouraged to do so by reduced taxes...if green gets in, you can kiss those goodbye...that would be a HUGE contributor to the Canadian budget.
To encourage negative effects to our food sources is absolutely retarded. Oil subsidies do this.
@Elvishadabutler The Green party is not a one issue party. Their strategy is BASED in ecology but they have a good plan for all of the important issues. They are fiscally conservative and they have realistic number planned out in advance for 3 years. The other parties just tell you they wanna do shit and it'll cost this much but they don't back it up. They also have a good plan for education, economy... everything. Inform yourself.

This is the first year I'm able to vote and I've decided to go green. I based my choice on my personal beliefs, the parties platform, and what they stand for. Every adult I know either votes conservative or liberal, so I was happy to discover that all of my friends and people my age that I know are voting green or NDP. I was on the fence between voting green or ndp so i did more research and took the quiz on CBC... it said green.
@lushpupp I don't see this as an attack ad. There was no attack directed against any one person or party. They asked if you were tired of attack ads and wanted to change.... The footage on the televisions, while insinuating their involvement in attack ads(i do see where you came from in this) was of all the major parties of canada, not just one, and was in reference to current politics in general, once again not specifically attacking any person or party
@lushpupp It isn't hypocrisy. It's witty. This video is to show that politics shouldn't be about mocking one another; rather, we should focus on the issues at hand. This video is very clever and it shows how the Green Party is dedicated to Canada - not just trying to win an election. VOTE GREEN!
@tom360 by no means I vote for Tories. We shall wait for equal representation and that is when our votes would count. However, the demographics and characteristics of the Greens and Tories are promise of a stratified society. Greens are not really green.
I hope Canadians realize where the Greens stand, I hate it that they borrowed the name "Green". They look green but their heart is as dark as the rest. Don't waste your vote for now. Vote someone else.
And for the few comments saying that voting Green or NDP is actually wasting your voice, well there's no way I'm voting Conservative. Not likely Liberals or Bloc. So if I waste my vote on NDP or Green, at least I'll have gone out and voted this time. If you want people to vote, it might be time to stop telling that it's worthless to go because of who they'd vote for.
Last elections, I didn't vote. I was paying attention to the campaign, but quickly got disgusted. My vote went NDP until they started playing dirty too. Soon, I didn't see one party I wanted to vote for. Many people I know are also disgusted, Kinda nice to have a party finally trying to tell the others to stop. I think it's voicing many Canadians's concerns that are being ignored. If this horrible and shameful practice stops, maybe then, voting might not feel like trying to feed a tarantula.
I was on the Green Party of Canada's website, and if they aren't a one issue party I can't see more than four on their website. Their platform needs to be more detailed and cover more diverese topics then the environment. I agree with their concerns I just can't vote on one issue. Nice ad though and I agree, politics shouldn't be so dirty
just like the Greens , the bloc should not be in the debates, but if your going to let in the block, then maybe the greens should be in too. but dont get me wrong, i am in no way voting green. i just think if the bloc is in then the green should be in. and if the green is out, its time to boot the bloc.
Please don't end up like Stateside politics. The Greens got over one million votes in the last election. Yet, The Media Consortium says that May is a "fringe" candidate? How is that different from Gravel and Kucinich being excluded from Democratic Debates in 2008? Even when they were actually there for some they were blatantly censored.
Do you really want that rubbish in Canadian politics?
@macapplecam Actually Green does care very much... I just asked this question and got a responce as I'm in the same view.. I also want someone to change OTTAWA for the better.. Green and I share simlar values. They have my vote. Check out their press releases on their website.. It's there.. You tube won't let me post the link.
Regardless of whether or not the Green Party is the right vote, this ad is ironically nothing more than an attack ad and smear campaign. Again, the focus is on what's wrong with the other parties and not what's good about the Green Party. This is the first ad I've seen from the GP and I'm disappointed because I really thought they would be taking a different route.
Attack ads work, even though everybody hates them. Thankfully, they don't specifically point out one party, but hopefully they do release more ads that are positive.
Wow, the Greens are a lot better than I thought, I used to think they were all about the environment, but now I see that they are not just a one issue political party. They will definitely get my vote this coming election!
It's all political. Have you studied United Nations Agenda 21 and how it's being implemented in the US? Search YouTube for "How your community is implementing AGENDA 21" The lady with long, white hair is a liberal speaking to a conservative group.
@drbackman It is a common misconception that the Green Party is a one-issue party, when really they have many policies on the economy, good government, health care and everything else. I urge you to go to the Green Party website: Click on 'Issues' then click on 'Vision Green'. Read the policy and then see if you still think that the Green Party is a 'one trick pony'.
i think its funny that they are against attack ads, with them showing this and showing all of the other party leaders they are just trying to use an attack ad on all party leaders at one time and trying to say they dont support them but they will use them
@iisdan even if they do give truth, the majority of the time it is a twisted 'truthiness' (in the words of stephen colbert) truth. Attack ads are made to manipulate voters into thinking a certain way, the truth becomes twisted and some things can be greatly blown out of proportion.
If there is one thing the Green Party should be doing with any money it has –– it should be focusing on suggesting to Canadian's ALTERNATIVE ECONOMIC PATHS FOR CANADA OTHER THAN COMMODITY FUTURES
Why the fuck should I care what you have to say about "the state of Canadian politics" when I can see it everyday??
Whats the Green Party worth if it doesn't say anything?
@OgallalaKnowhow It's a 30 sec ad. there's only so much you can do with it. Wait until the election for ads with policy in them. Also, check out their excellent Vision Green document: greenparty[dot]ca/issues/vision-green It has far more in it than any other party.
This is literally an attack ad about attack ads. Pathetic.
The only thing the Green Party is good for is bleeding progressive votes away fromt he Liberals and NDP. In other words, a vote for the Green Party is a vote for Harper.
Say what you want, the Conservatives are spot on about Ignatieff. But then it's the Liberals' fault for picking suck weak leaders to begin with. I'm amazed the Green Party would waste money on an ad like this. Attack ads are a wrong focus, I agree, but they work, and any party not using them is doing a disservice to Canadians by not pointing out the problems with their opposition. We're going to see a Conservative majority this year. Why? Politicians see bravery as too controversial. Cowards!
@nitesco Whoa Whoa Whoa, I for one love the attack ads on Iggy. Iggy is a typical lib. We need an authoritarian man to run our country, to keep us out of the state of nature iggy will put us in! Vivre the Harper
@mountianman Hey! -_- Hell yeah he would be, you'd just have to be in the top 1 percent in Canada to realize that. So that is why one has to start by becoming rich as hell, he inspires me to achieve more that my 5 digit earning. Forget my cottage, grandma's house, and helping my parents, I need to build a corporation that will get tax cuts, and to build HarperPrisons, and to keep those Harperprisons afloat by filling them up with people subject to benevolent tough on crime laws! Vivre the harper
@NationalPro Well, obviously you haven't read their platform as the Ndp claims they are a right wing libertarian/conservative party pretending to be left wing. That should tell you something about their moderate yet principled views.
When I look around and see the few people I know who are followers of the Green party it strikes me as interesting that they are the people that I consider to be the most creative and intelligent people I know. Hmmm, maybe I should have a second look at the Greens.
@booswalia I can say the same :) I have 5 (of the 6 best people I know) voting green. They are responsible, compassionate, intelligent, creative minds as well :D I think one should question why opponents don't want the Green party allowed to participate and the reason they receive unsubstantiated red herring hits.
ATTACK ADS WILL DESTROY OUR NATION by polarizing people on soundbites and untruths... just look state-side - it's friggin' obliterated any chance for intelligent discourse and severely robbed the people of their power. It's Red vs Blue. It's My Guy vs Your Guy. This is NOT how Canada works. If you disagree with these ads as well, go to conservative.ca like I did and submit a complaint to them. 1 complaint = opinion of 100 voters. They will change.
This certainly feels like an attack ad to me. Even though the faces of the leaders are drawn from attack ads, I don't see one of Elizabeth May in there. Visuals and narrative left me with the impression that all four other parties are doing the negative campaigning. If this ad did not promote a particular political party, then it would be a truer message, but even so, it was manipulative and misleading and denigrating others rather than building on the positive.
I agree that we need to improve public discourse. I agree with the verbal statement in this video that we need to stop attack ads. Sadly, the visuals in this ad are attacking all the individual leaders standing in parliament today. The visuals contradict the audio thus leaving the message open for negative interpretation and misunderstanding.
@mykerlib It had to be clear where those attack ads were emanating from. Are people supposed to divine from thin air where the attacks ads come from. People needs points of reference.
@ecogreenfirefly I mean no ill will. I agree with most, if not all, of the Green Party vision for Canada. My concern is with the design of the ad and the dangers it presents. Just read the responses it is getting. Clearly the level of discourse has not gone up.
♥♥♥ We are working hard to get the word out to Canadians about our Crime Minister / Prime Spender Stealin' Harper. ♥♥♥ Google this discussion group of 6,000+ Canadians: (CRUSH) Canadians Rallying to Unseat Steve Harper ♥♥♥ Also we run a website called: unseatHarper dot ca ♥ We talk, share newstories and help each other understand the lies told to us by Harper and the MSM. ♥♥♥ Steve HarperCon: Government of One ♥♥♥
I wish people didn't see The Green Party as a one-issue party; they are much more than that. Green Party policies regarding the economy, social issues and the electoral system are the best and most intelligent political party policies in Canada. Everyone should go read 'Vision Green' on The Green Party website
Right on. Thanks for taking a stance on this, it's something that's been bothering me for years and I've wondered why no one had stood up against it yet.
@phred75 Sorry i guess you can lead a horse to water but you can't make it drink or think in your case
Michael Tutton THE CANADIAN PRESS
HALIFAX – Green party voters should consider voting either NDP or Liberal in tight races to avoid a Conservative victory, says Green Leader Elizabeth May.
@imN0Ttheone Or you can get it from the horses mouth.
Oct 12, 2008
"The Green party issued a statement Sunday denying that party leader Elizabeth May is calling on supporters to vote Liberal or NDP in tight races to prevent a Conservative majority"
Well let's see, the Star is pro-Liberal. Globe-pro Conservative. The rest are pretty good although it was really the CBC who told it exactly as it was said. Elizabeth May said in riding's where Green support was low, CONSIDER voting for ABC to keep Harper out of power.
I'm fully in support of the sentiment, but surprised by the lack of bite. This ad needed to be sharp, pointed, nasty! Instead, insipid stock music, an understated tone of voice, and visuals that go nowhere. C'mon, Green Party, show us your teeth!!
This is a great strategy for the Green party .In 08 Elizabeth May told all the Greens to vote Liberal in the 08 election so you never know who to attack with them .
Politics is selling. Ads are selling. Your anti-attack ad ad is selling the green party... by attacking the ones that place attack ads. They are doing the exact same thing! Conservatives have the best interest for Canada - not perfect, but much better than the competition and doing a great job so far! Keep up the good work Harper.
@alphavortex1 Attacking attack ads is not the same as attack ads that attack people, you're a moron, which explains you voting conservative. Harper is a power hungry idiot.
@dabomb1357 So you're thinking the ads placed themselves? The "Ads" are a type of sentient being? Calling people a moron after posting that is comical.
Harper is power hungry? The other politicians are not interested in power? ...and this is all coming from someone calling themselves "dabomb". You should understand your post actually helps what your fighting against.
@alphavortex1 I liek you have completely avoided my point that this ad's purpose is not the same as other attack ads... But yes, Harper is power hungry. He shut down government to avoid non-confidence, he lied and fought tooth and nail to avoid a coalition agaisnt him, he wasn't to officially change the governments name from The Government of Canada to Harper's Government.

@alphavortex1 I'm not sure you know what "attack ad" means. This commercial doesn't attack anyone in particular or even any of the other parties, it criticizes attack ads. If your party happens to run attack ads instead of policy based campaigns then getting mad about being criticized for dirty politics is just laughable.
I'm not green party, and this ad doesn't make it much more likely for me to go green. But I'm glad someone is trying to speak out against the political games so common below us
@Makosis Making an ad that knocks the competition to make yourself look better... this ad does knock the competition to make the green party look better. This is an attack ad. The proper way to accomplish this is to make an ad showing what the green party is good for WITHOUT knocking any competition. People are smart - let them talk about how the green party doesn't attack others. They are just trying to knock others and make themselves look better. It fails as will their party.
@alphavortex1 Thank you for confirming my suspicion that you don't know what an attack ad is. It's perfectly legitimate to criticize your opponents within ads. As long as it's actually relevant to politics or policy. Fighting against attack ads is completely legitimate, unlike the conservatives method of questioning motives without basis, or borderline racism with their attacks on ignatieff and dion respectively.
@Makosis I understand exactly what you are saying - yes, I do know the difference... but It doesn't work in their favor in the long run. People are already pointing out the contradiction without combing it with a fine tooth comb as most do when viewing political tactics. They even show the pictures of the competition and if you look closely, they put the video of them in a way that makes them look silly... like Ignatieff kissing as they say "mud slinging" etc. come on now.. :)
@alphavortex1 The ad online currently has 40,000 views, many of them by people like me who have no part affiliation or intention to affiliate based on the message. It's already worked by being an effective message. You still blur the lines behind what is legitimate criticism and what is an attack ad. Questioning partiotism, baseless fear mongering, etc. This isn't an attack ad, there is no hypocrisy in it. If you paid attention to the monitors, those were attack ads that have been run before.
@Makosis She calls it an attack ad herself but to be honest, I really don't care. I'm not for the green party, they have no chance of being in power - the sole fact they want to cut the defense budget in 1/2 tells me how naive they are. Peace should be cherished and defended. Leave it to the greens to love thy neighbor as the enemy rapes and pillages you. Oh no.. that would never happen to lil ole peaceful Canada. The enemy wants the green party in power and to disarm the innocent!
@alphavortex1 is not that i dont want the green party in power, because i do, but i think that if they had more votes they could be more involved in parliament and help steer Canada in the right direction. Steven Harper ins't Getting the Job done.
@alphavortex1 Your comment makes me sick. If you think for one second that Militarism is the solution then clearly you totally fail to understand the concept of violence begets violence. War and carnage is quite frankly something humans have seen too much of. War destroys the environment, poisons the ability to grow food and disrupts peoples lives. All this accomplishes is to incite more violence such that it does not matter who the aggressor was. I am sad for you and your narrow minded ideals.
@ecogreenfirefly I take comfort in knowing that few feel the way you do. Violence begets violence?? Who's talking about violence?!? Maybe we should remove the police force and stop manufacturing locks for our homes and cars. Idealists like you are eventually victims. Open your mind. Do you know how much fighting took place to have the freedom you take for granted today? You are naive and inconsiderate. Freedom WILL be defended - thankfully most don't share your narrow minded views.
@Illmatic1988 Watch the news more often. What a ridiculous question... Also the enemy doesn't have to be some radical terrorist from another country. We have Canadians breaking into other Canadians homes and killing innocent. The concept of "defense" goes deeper than just National defense. I strongly believe we all have the right to defend our families and the country has an obligation to defend our nation. I don't believe in preemptive attacks but we have to be on guard and stay vigilant
@alphavortex1 You're actually quite right. The ad is not done well. The concept is awesome, I love what they are standing up against, but the delivery is sketchy and borderline hypocritical.
@kooslap Who's working 3 jobs? 8 times 3 is 24. I think sleep may be required. And the taxes are fine. Yes it's a lot but don't you like having an army, healthcare, roads, police, and schools? If you want to pay less go live in shîty place below us, where broken leg will bankrupt you.
Attack ads work these days because people in general are too lazy to follow politics... I don't blame them, it's hard work to raise a family while working 2 to 3 jobs to pay all the taxes that these retarded parties are making us pay. And Green Party will be no different............. "global warming" taxes is their next cash cow that they will dump on top of us. Environmental extremists and their "save the world religion" is going to further destroy he middle class.
All our politicians are serving the criminal international banking cartel! Get that through your heads Canada! This was a planned destruction of the Western economies using the environmental movement as their base to carry it out. There is no 'man-made' global warming. It's about the destruction of N.A.'s manufacturing sector (globalization), and move to one world gov't and currency. Our standard of living will fall. The environmental movement has been co-opted to serve the banking cartel.
This is not an attack ad. There is a big difference between making personal attacks on people and pointing out differences in policy. "Those other guys don't love their country" would be an attack ad. "The Green Party is different because it doesn't campaign on personal attacks" - not an attack ad.

I was on the fence between voting green or ndp so i did more research and took the quiz on CBC... it said green.

@lushpupp I don't see this as an attack ad. There was no attack directed against any one person or party. They asked if you were tired of attack ads and wanted to change.... The footage on the televisions, while insinuating their involvement in attack ads(i do see where you came from in this) was of all the major parties of canada, not just one, and was in reference to current politics in general, once again not specifically attacking any person or party

@lushpupp It isn't hypocrisy. It's witty. This video is to show that politics shouldn't be about mocking one another; rather, we should focus on the issues at hand. This video is very clever and it shows how the Green Party is dedicated to Canada - not just trying to win an election. VOTE GREEN!

Last elections, I didn't vote. I was paying attention to the campaign, but quickly got disgusted. My vote went NDP until they started playing dirty too. Soon, I didn't see one party I wanted to vote for. Many people I know are also disgusted, Kinda nice to have a party finally trying to tell the others to stop. I think it's voicing many Canadians's concerns that are being ignored. If this horrible and shameful practice stops, maybe then, voting might not feel like trying to feed a tarantula.

This certainly feels like an attack ad to me. Even though the faces of the leaders are drawn from attack ads, I don't see one of Elizabeth May in there. Visuals and narrative left me with the impression that all four other parties are doing the negative campaigning. If this ad did not promote a particular political party, then it would be a truer message, but even so, it was manipulative and misleading and denigrating others rather than building on the positive.
It's an Attack Ad.

@alphavortex1 Thank you for confirming my suspicion that you don't know what an attack ad is. It's perfectly legitimate to criticize your opponents within ads.
