Lord, have mercy. If you think that is an attack ad, I'd hate to see what you'd call some of the ads that run here in the States.
That has to be the the mildest, most milquetoast "attack" ad I've ever seen.
It's not the ad itself, it's how it's going to be spun.
In Canadian politics this ad certainly could be considered an attack ad. Canadian campaigns definately have a bit more decorum that the mud slinging campaigns here in the states... Hopefully this won't backfire up north.
I agree!! The ads in the States are really something!! They are done for EFFECT!! Besides, a moustache is optional, Chretien's mouth was something he couldn't do anything about. I don't find the comparison relevant.
