The Conservative Party of Canada has done an excellent job of marketing itself in the Canadian election by making party leader and Prime Minister Stephen Harper the face and focus of their campaign. As far as the ads go, this election is all about him. The Conservatives’ ads mostly boil down to “Stephen Harper is not a dick” and the New Democratic Party’s ads essentially say “Stephen Harper is a dick”.
The Liberal Party’s ads conspicuous by their apparent absence. Has anyone seen a Liberal Party ad on TV? I haven’t. Stranger still, with the notable exception of the Conservatives’ “slot machine” ad, I haven’t even seen an ad by the Tories or NDP that acknowledge the Liberals’ existence; if you didn’t live here, you might be led to believe that it’s a two-party race.
What is the Liberal Party doing?

I think I saw one yesterday during So you think you can dance Canada. But I had the sound off, so it may have been a conservative ad dissing the liberals.
@Darryl: I used to watch a lot of Shania Twain videos with the sound down. Possibly with my pants down, too.
Stephen Harper? You mean Petit’ Goerges?
Haven’t you noticed the Harpernomics commercials? (To be fair I’ve only seen them appear twice, but I haven’t been watching a lot of TV lately.)
