NDP political ads
The NDP have joined the game of pre-writ television spots:
This is the same guy that said he'll oppose the budget a month before it was released, but assuming Canadians forgot about that, this is not a bad ad. It is simple and it plays on perceptions that the Conservatives and Liberals are overly partisan.
The danger of this ad is that Canadians are getting tired of the election blame game. Every time there is a threat of an election, every party accuses the others of being responsible. Of course no political party wants to be blamed for doing something that would annoy the electorate, but I don't think the Canadian people care who triggered the election. At this point they aren't blaming any party but the whole system. If it is true that Canadians are tired of elections, then it is a pox on all parties.

At least Iggy could afford some trees in the background.

Now if I could just figure out which side. Gee, with him constantly changing sides I am stuck.

Weasel! Who does he think he's fooling? I CAN NOT stand people like this who play chicken between two oncoming trains then stand back and admonish their victims for playing games. When and if there is an election and he loses seats, or doesn't gain, he MUST resign. He has had too many losses, not enough gains, and been nothing short of treasonous.
