I saw the negative ads with the "person on the street" saying how Ed didn't have a plan and was just spending like crazy, etc. They always said something like "by Albertan's for Change" (or something like that). I wouldn't have known who paid for that, except I read a newspaper article that mentioned how the Alberta Federation of Labour had sponsored the negative ads that were being aired.
I still can't recall a Liberal ad. If I did see one, it sure didn't make an impression.

They had an ad, played it countless times last couple of days, unless it was just produced towards the end. And actually it ran countless times all day yesterday too. I guess they changed rules about running ads on actual day of election? Shows a close up of Taft, and their slogan, time for change, and he says changes around something that Stelmach said and adds a new connotation on that by saying they can do it, and then he lamely said something like are you ready, and not with much enthusiasm either. I just got the impression it would be next to impossible to light a fire under Taft.
Obiously it never made much impression on me because outside of "time for a change", I cant remember the rest of the words from the ad.
