I have been picking on the NDP and Conservatives a lot lately and I guess it is turn to question the Liberals for this ad. The ad reminds me a lot of some of the ads that the Liberals ran when Stephane Dion was leader and it doesn’t say a lot although it does introduce the “big Liberal worldview” vs “small Conservative worldview” theme. I do think the ad misses an opportunity in Ignatieff’s skills as a communicator and idea person. Right now there isn’t anything in the ad that I disagree with but nothing that makes me want to vote for the Liberals either. The ad needs to be driving more people to liberal.ca where they can get more information on those expanded themes. Some five minute documentaries on YouTube featuring Michael Ignatieff and others on his team talking about foreign affairs, getting ideas to market (Team Canada trips 2.0 anyone?), and even a reminder of how Liberals have done this in the past would have been great. For me this doesn’t inspire me that much.
