NDP: Harper Created Worst Deficit in Canadian History (VIDEO)

By: Obert Madondo | The Canadian Progressive:

Apparently, the Official Opposition will not allow Stephen Harper‘s appetite for character-assassinating attack ads and propaganda to go unchallenged. The NDP has responded to the Conservatives’ recent attack ad targeting its leader, Thomas Mulcair. The ad, dubbed “Stephen Harper’s Solutions,” focuses on the prime minister’s economic record. It lambasts the Conservative government’s recent draconian cuts to essential services such as Old Age Security (OAS) and Emplyment Insurance (EI).

Please note: below the video, I’ve published a couple of Twitter responses to the ad. Enjoy!
