They premiered it starting tonight (I'm on the Liberal Party email list and got an email about it a few minutes before it aired during the game). The new campaign slogan, "Ready." is an absolute masterstroke of advertising. Whoever thought to co-opt the Conservative line of "He's just not ready" and turn it around is a marketing genius. No matter what political party you support, I hope everyone can appreciate what a great ad this is from an advertising perspective.

Also, I'm 100% sure the Harper attack machine is already preparing an ad in which they play Trudeau saying, "It's time to raise taxes on the wealthiest 1% so we can cut them for the middle class" but take it out of context so it's just a clip of him saying, "It's time to raise taxes..."
