Strange way for a self-respecting newspaper to establish an honest debate in this country.
This ad for (and currently running in) the Globe and Mail online reminds me of the Liberal Party’s recent campaign ads, and their vile deception.
The Liberals infamously ran an ad back in 2004 that similarly featured a hand gun (this one was pointed directly at the viewer, and then fired at you the viewer with the inherent message: vote Conservative, and an evil madman—possibly a conservative since that was who they were talking about—will shoot you and your children, directly in the face, because the Conservatives may enable this to happen, so vote liberal, and that won’t happen.).
In both cases, their reference is government gun control and more particularly, the gun registry. The total deceit comes in where handguns are concerned. There has never been a debate over the registry of hand guns in Canada—at least not for 50 years or more, and (unfortunately) the Conservatives have never indicated any appetite for tossing out the half-century-old registry of hand guns. The only question of gun registry has concerned long guns—hunters’ rifles and ranchers’ shotguns and so on.
So it’s a total lie. Deception.
The Liberals used the vile deception as a method of freaking Canadians out into voting for them. It seems to me the liberals’ Globe and Mail is using it to do much the same thing. Freak Canadians out about phantom Conservative Party plans, while also selling more papers. Nice.
As I said, it’s a strange way for a self-respecting newspaper to establish an honest debate in this country, as they pretend to do.
You can’t trust a media with an agenda.
