The outright lies are the "deficit" claims. That would just be a guess, and then given that the liberals can't estimate their own budgets properly, a very uneducated one.
Equaling the conservatives to a different level of government in a different time period. (mike harris)
Stating that Stephen Harper is probably funded by the americans since he hasn't said who donated to his leadership campaign. I mean after all US Right Wingers have the money to do it.

You call it "fearmongering", others might call it "campaigning". How can saying that he'll run a deficit be a lie? Who knows? He is making an awful lot of promises. It's not exactly outside the realm of possibilty that a conservative government in favor of big tax cuts can put the country in such a position.
If Harper turns around and says "no, the Liberals will run a deficit", would he be lying?
Will this tactic of "campaigning" work again? I don't know. Doesn't look like it actually.
And again, why is it that every time anyone points out that Harper is a right-winger, some says "that's just fearmongering"?
