The political parties in Canada have no interest in the this country, only their riding's.
-
How about a law that prohibits attack ads for the next election? Who do you think would agree to passing the bill and who would stall it forever?
-
The problem is that attack ads DO work. There have been studies made in the U.S. regarding attack ads showing that they're influential in changing public opinion. Look at this past election: the Conservatives ran ads implying Ignatieff was "too intellectual" and "not political enough" for Canada - never mind the fact that he had a world of experience and foreign training from traveling. That was part of the reason why the Cons won.

@Celtore1324 Yeah and they overlook the other guy who wears a different American brand of socks or watches Fox News or also is technically an intellectual as well otherwise he/she wouldn't talk about how they're economists or lawyers and such.

@zeldafreak71 agreed! Let's keep em!

@ghostoftheabyss3 really? I find them hilarious, wouldn't be as interesting without them imo

I'm learning latin and just learned "ad hominem". According to Wikipedia: "Ad hominem abuse (also called personal abuse or personal attacks) usually involves insulting or belittling one's opponent in order to invalidate his argument, ... This tactic is logically fallacious because insults and even true negative facts about the opponent's personal character have nothing to do with the logical merits of the opponent's arguments or assertions." Sound familiar?

ATTACK ADS ARE HILARIOUS!
-

Funny how Mercer's work is considered comedy when it offers more constructive criticism than most serious shows.

so true. I hate attack ads. I mean whatever happened to running a clean campaign? It's getting ridiculous
