The issue of leadership in the upcoming Federal election is primarily a distraction away from the real issues.

Elections should not be so much about who the leader is, but rather where the leader would take the country.

But the Liberals addressing these criticism anyways with a new video ad:

Dion’s leadership when it comes to environmental issues on the international scene is unparalleled.  The environment consistently pops up as one of the major issues for Canadian voters.   And the Liberal platform has  much more to offer than just the environment.

But Canadians have also been turned off by all leaders, with Harper slipping the most in the polls,

The Ipsos Reid poll, conducted for Canwest News Service and Global News between Sept. 9 and 11, shows Canadians’ impressions of the leaders slipped instead of strengthened, and Prime Minister Stephen Harper had the worst week of them all.

Dirty politics does not pay, and if they continue this way Canadians will eventually see through the Conservative platform if they stop turning a blind eye to them.
