The new CPC ad: pitch perfect and nanny free.
Update – Tell your grandkids you were on hand to witness the launch of a media conspiracy theory!
Update 2 Well, so much for media transparency – Steven Chase has “protected his tweets”. SDA gets results!
“Stronger than American beer Party”
That’s a slogan I can get behind. Much stronger than tea.
ANY advert anywhere will show Canada’s natural beauty. We should be proud of it. If Harper wishes to showcase it, so be it. I’d rather look on the beauty of Lake Louise than some fat union huckster screaming how much he loves Layton.
Osumashi Kinyobe at 7:02 PM, as for me, I just look in the mirror. ;p
Great ad. I want to believe.
Thank-you EBD for speculating that I might look like that extraordinary lady in this ad. It is not me but you made my day by suggesting that it could be!
Louise, tee!
Re the comments near the start about the fighters escorting the airliner, flights bringing troops home from Afghanistan are met as they enter Canadian airspace and escorted to their destination. It has quite an effect on the troops.
This may be one of these missions.
Onya, mate
Good Script.. Good Video, but please.. . “The voice” needs real Compassion & depth.. This from the Country of Lorne Green.
Osumashi K, there’re so many places in this country named after me, it’s almost embarrassing.
Think again, Slapshot.
What was Lorne Green’s nickname during WW2?
The MSM has truly lost it:
Tories accused of following Tea Partier’s script in new ad
http://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/politics/ottawa-notebook/tories-accused-of-following-tea-partiers-script-in-triumphant-new-
ad/article1972359/
Too bad they don’t bother to post the ad they say is plaigiarized. Just what doesn’t “threaten to undermine” the Tory campaign, you know, the one where they going to win the election easily.
Well, of course, being proud of Canada is soo Tea Partyish, so mean spirited and therefore violent.
The headline should be “Conservatives promote violence in new ad.”
Shamrock: “Too bad they don’t bother to post the ad they say is plaigiarized.”
The two ads are placed side by side here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fGXGwr3nr7g
LOL!! That one is guaranteed to backfire on the Libs. The theme that ties those two vids together is pride in one’s country – aka patriotism. Libs are against that, of course. They think they’ve found some horrific scandal. But Iggy is a patriotic Canadian, you know.
I love the ad, there are Closet Canadians who have looking for a chance to stand up and show our pride, the olympics gave us a chance and now this. Right on!!!
Canadian EH!
Works for me.
Looks like he lifted it.
I think it is a great ad.
Canadian exceptionalism! I like it!!
The audio is, apparently, from Harper’s speech on the 5th anniversary of his election as prime minister.
Of course that is not obvious because the press completely ignored this brilliant and visionary speech from January 25, 2011. I predict it will be effective for the same reason the supposed “attack” ads with Ignatieff’s own words were effective; Canadian’s will be hearing the words for the first time.
The MSM are completely in the bag for the Liberals.
But you are supposed to hate your country, aren’t you?
It’s in the liberal self loathing handbook!
I’ve yet to see this AD on TV
Louise @ 8:20, savor the flavour.;)
Journalists today don’t even try to hide their left bias. We know it, they know it, their editors know it, so they have completely given up the charade of an unbiased media.
Wasn’t it the Lieberals who wrapped themselves in the flag and claimed a monopoly on Canadian values – every time they were in a tight corner?
Positive ads appeal to our better side and make us WANT to vote. If the Conservatives are taking a page from Tim Pawlenty’s political ad notebook for this one, good on them. The Ontario Liberals engaged the scream machine, Howard Dean, as convention speaker.

The ad is a substance-free blank slate for viewers to project what they want to see. In that sense it is perfect. Kate will see ‘nanny-free’, in spite of the overwhelming evidence.
