A Cyan Stone in Mustard Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 Here are two examples of the Conservative Party of Canada attacking the Liberals with attack ads: Here is the Liberal Party's leader responding to them: http://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/news-video/video-watch-justin-trudeaus-response-to-conservative-attack-ads/article11518002/#video0id11518002 I find it pretty immature how political parties will find any somewhat controversial saying and use it in hopes to find support. I find it stupid to focus on finding problems in opponents and exploiting it in ads rather than making ads that actually discuss how to fix issues or introduce new things, things that a political party should actually do. What are your thoughts on this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
♥Prof. Sugarcube♥ Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 i find it stupid that there are commercials to demoralise another party rather than build up your own party What, is it time now to destroy another's chance of winning to increase your chance of winning by less than 0.1%, while looking like a total asshole to the public?

v³ Unknown NO FEAR Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 Eh, politicians will be politicians. Although I dislike the fact that the Conservative Party is doing attack ads like these, Harper's doing a pretty decent job for Canada and it's unlikely that Canadians will change their minds about the Conservatives. Trudeau is still too much of a liberal for many Canadians to like him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tats Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 Politics do talk about the real problems, that is to say, themselves ! There are very big issues many countries face, such as public debt, monetary power, democratic institutions, freedom to stand for elections outside the 2 main parties, transparency, immigration, social security, fraud (fiscal and social), unfair wars abroad, fundamental rights, private life, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pilobacon Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 Frankly, I strongly dislike the juvenile nature of attack ads which isn't help much by the fact I have to put up with them so much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 I think attack ads should be banned, or at least regulated, but who would regulate them? Those in power? No way. So yeah. Banned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
