| Description | OTTAWA -- The Conservatives are going personal on Michael Ignatieff as they try to boost slumping poll numbers at the expense of the Liberal leader.
The Tories are unleashing a TV and Internet attack campaign to define Ignatieff in the Canadian psyche, portraying him as an "arrogant elitist" who returned to Canada after 34 years only to satisfy his political ambition.
Three English TV commercials all begin the same way, asking viewers why Ignatieff is back in Canada after being away so long.
"Is he interested in people like you? No, instead he brags that he's horribly arrogant, a cosmopolitan, and while away the only thing he missed about Canada was Algonquin Park," a narrator reads.
"With such a focus on his own success, he's not in it for you or for Canada. he's just in it for himself." |
