As if sports/gambling ads weren't annoying enough...

Maybe they could develop a platform that includes things that the majority of Candians want to vote for instead of more, "TrUdEaU bAd!" nonsense? That would be awesome.

They don't know what a platform is. Just look at Ontario's Conservatives, no platforms yet still managed to win two years in a row by engaging in voter suppression through media and misinformation of policies.

What a waste of 30m. Pandering to the Christian right, and even more concerning, under educated people who could care less about the people around them, the environment, and the world at large.

As a lefty, most elections are a disappointment.

I'm sorry, but the only people stupid enough to be influenced by political ads, are the same people stupid enough to vote without doing any thinking for themselves.

If you like Pepsi better than Coke, no tv spot or magazine spread is going to change your mind. Honestly I have a really hard time justifying most of the money people spend on advertising, other than it keeps people in advertising employed.

If only that pig had more lipstick on it…

Here’s an idea. Instead of spending 30M on ads, spend it on something that would actually benefit people, like….. oh forget it. I’m wasting my breath.

If they spend enough money, the voter's will have to like them, right, right! The dark ages approacheth over yon dizzying legislature. Burn all the fossil fuels! The margins of society will just get narrower except for the 1 percent all thanks to our advertisers and non voter's.
