The Canadian election campaigns get ugly
September 10, 2008
We’re…what? Two days in? And already, Harper has had to apologize to the Liberals for an image that appeared on NotALeader.ca
(nice opening Flash animation, by the way…) — a site operated by a Conservative supporter that pokes fun at Stephane Dion’s hesitance as a party leader — of a puffin taking a crap on Dion’s shoulder.
But that wasn’t the only apology issued. Dion had to apologize for an ill-advised comparison between Harper and Adolf Hitler (I invoke Godwin!) made by Liberal MP candidate Brent Fullard.
Two days into the campaign, and both party leaders have had to apologize for gaffes made by others. It’s just a strange year for elections, I guess.
