About Me

- Dave Cournoyer began blogging in 2005 while studying Political Science at the University of Alberta in Edmonton. In 2006, he was elected Vice-President (External) his Students’ Union and served as Chair of the Council of Alberta University Students until 2007. Since then, he has worked as Communication Coordinator for Alberta’s official opposition party and for various advocacy and public policy groups. As well as writing on this blog, Dave also occasionally writes for publications such as SEE Magazine.
Damn.
ReplyDeleteThat sent chills. I hope the Liberals were taking notes on this--I definitely was.
Ha ha ha ha.. That was even worse that the ABLibs advert.. A guy crawling around in a cheap sheep costume.. Priceless.. I love that some found inspiration in that. If you really want inspiration kids, check out the attack ads against Brad Wall and Party in Sask.. Far better done with the wolf in sheep clothing scenario. lol
ReplyDeleteWere I a Californian, I might well vote for Tom Campbell on the strength of this ad. What it says between the lines is that he is prepared to behave responsibly on the revenue side to get California out of the trouble "real" "fiscal conservatives" (who are anything but fiscally conservative) got it into. In other words, he's not alike all the other California Republicans - no bad thing in my estimation. The Alberta Liberal video you refer to is more intellectually honest than this ad, in that it simply points out the obviously demonstrable fact that people who label themselves fiscal conservatives tend to spend public money like drunken sailors - and think that's OK, as long as it's being spent on things like themselves and their rich friends, and not "wasteful" projects that actually benefit the public, like hospitals, health care, public education and emergency services.
