It seems to me if each time Harper came out with one of these attack ads, Canadians simply replied with - ok, Stevo, lets see your Resume and we'll compare it to Ignatieff's - Harper would move on to something else.

Harper has spent a much greater part of his carrier as a right-wing, extremist ideologue, bent on tearing this great nation of ours asunder than Ignatieff has spent outside Canada.

Ignatieff has spent his career championing human rights, tolerance and what makes a Democratic country function in a modern, complex, economy based society, enjoying a very celebrated, illustrious career on the International stage.

Harper has spent his career advocating building firewalls around Alberta, dismantling Canada as a nation and promoting extremist Con values that are no more than a throwback to a dark-age where totalitarianism was the rule.

Harper's only claim to fame is that he has a core (33%) of die-hard, right-wing extremists, epi-centred in Alberta that will support him pretty much no mater what (the Silent Minority) - provided Harper tows the line, with no consideration as to what is good for Canada as a whole, that keep Harper in power as long as the Moderate Majority do not consolidate.

These attack ads are the old PR principle of promoting your weakness until it is a strength.

All the attack ads may be interpreted in this fashion - an attack in an emotionally vicious fashion intended to distract from a fundamental weakness of Harper and the Con's and imprint on the psyche a totally distorted message.

They are also designed to arouse Harper die-hard supporters and dishearten the Moderate Majority until they decide not to vote - compare Vaughan.
