Why the Tories’ latest attack ads aren’t working – The Harper Conservatives’ attempt to frame Liberal leader Justin Trudeau as “in over his head” is having the opposite of its desired effect. The ads, which have run for over a year, claim Trudeau is “not ready” to govern that he’s “in over his head.” The objective: to leave the electorate with the impression that Trudeau is inexperienced and lacking good judgment. But a new public opinion poll found the ad campaign has backfired, badly. The research suggests nearly half of Canadian voters have seen the TV ads. Of those voters, half said the ads were most likely to make them vote Liberal, not Conservative. Only 17% of respondents said the ads encouraged them to vote Tory.
