October 13, 2015
OTTAWA – Demonstrating again that he will say whatever is politically convenient, Thomas Mulcair stated this morning at an Oshawa press conference that: “[Trudeau]’s spent the whole campaign attacking me, I’ve spent the whole campaign attacking Stephen Harper.”
Oh really?
- Mulcair recently launched two websites centred on attacking Justin Trudeau.
- New NDP attack ads target Justin Trudeau.
- The last three NDP news releases have “Trudeau” – not “Harper” – in the titles.
- There are 30 negative references to “Liberal” or “Trudeau” in the flawed NDP platform.
