All parties at all levels of government do this.
That being said, I would like to see some more cooperation amongst the parties, especially since we have a minority government and all polls show that neither Harper nor Dion are capable of winning a majority, so we really ought to demand less attacking and more working together from our MPs on both sides of the aisle.

ON the contrary, one of the strongest items the conservatives had running for them in 2006 was the fact they didn't attack the liberals on a personal level. They only criticized the facts - like the sponsorship scandal and 14 years of nothing but broken promises. The thing the conservatives did best was they never once criticized the liberals on a personal level. ALthough it was easy they left the name calling to the liberals because for 14 years, they showed it was the only thing they were good at.
