What really bites is lack of concern about dirty tricks that subvert democracy, the PM doesn't seem to care, just wants to state that the Conservatives weren't behind it. Back when the PCs were running ads highlighting Chretien's face, Kim Campbell pulled the ads. There are no bars now, "not a leader" and "just visiting" are fair game for character assassination unless it's Vic ("stand with us or the child pornographers") Toews who is being targeted.

I guess the dirty tricks started in the previous election but nothing was done about it: http://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/...rticle2354592/
So I'm sure it's going to get worse. Survival of the slimiest.
