Tories to launch TV ad campaign against Dion, during Superbowl & High Impact Times

[Caged Great]

Wow, those commercials are about as ######ed as the ones the Liberals ran before the election if not moreso.

How about the newspaper with the largest subscription base in Canada... that Trudeau ass kissing rag, the Toronto Star?

I don't think you have to look too far to find the media bias here in Calgary. Buried back in the paper today is the story of how another one of Harpers cronies got a job appointment. If that was a Liberal it would be front page news, along with a headline of "Friends in High Places Indeed!!" or something equally ridiculous.

Dion might not have gotten things done, but I don't think that anyone in the CPC is going to be the guy to get things done either! That is just the fox guarding the henhouse.

George W...oh I mean Stephen Harper is just trying to pull the wool over peoples eyes with some cleverly edited sound bites from leadership debates (which is pretty cheap in the first place!). I hope that it doesn;t work.

Why is using sound bites from an leadership debate that happened less than a year ago cheap. Durring the last election, Harper's thesis from the UofC was used by the Liberals - and that was over 10 years old.

Conservative attack ads fired at Liberal Leader Stephane Dion may end up sideswiping the ruling party after questions were raised about possible breach of copyright laws. The television ads, which began airing Monday, use footage from last fall's Liberal leadership debates to deliver the message that the new Grit leader is weak, indecisive and an environmental failure. But that footage belongs to a consortium of TV networks which pooled their resources to provide live coverage of the debates. The Cable Public Affairs Channel provided the pool camera for each debate.
The networks are now looking into how the Conservatives obtained the debate footage for their ads.
CPAC anchor Peter Van Dusen said Monday that any outside use of debate video would have to be approved by all pool members. Moreover, he said such video is traditionally never authorized for use by political parties.
