I actually agree with the lack of experience and him living off his family name (the latter bothers me the most whether it's a Kennedy, Bush or Trudeau), but taking a comment from 14 years ago and editing to erase context is really just bottom of the barrel stuff.
When I first saw the ads, I honestly had to do a double take because I thought I was watching a Rick Mercer or Stephen Colbert type of comedy sketch. I thought there was no way they were being serious. The fairy dust and cursive fonts, it's just way too much and uncalled for right off the bat like this. It harkens back to the day when they edited together clips of Chretien's speech impediment to make it sound he was mentally handicapped.
The one ad where they try to ridicule Trudeau for participating in charity events and having interests outside of politics (like the arts and working with kids) are the funniest though. Like those are negatives. It wasn't that long when the Conservatives were releasing photos of Stockwell Day jetskiing with young people to try and make him look more hip, or who could forget the photo releases of Harper with all the kittens and going to the animal shelter? I mean, how could you not vote for him, you don't hate kittens, do you? (Also, I love the strategically placed guitar in the one photo).
I'm not really commenting on Harper's or Trudeau's abilities. I think there are positives and negatives with both, but the Conservative ad and PR campaigns are always just the worst. How anyone can't see it for what it is, I just don't understand.
