On targets

The NDP has released its latest ad, focusing on the Cons' broken Senate promises:



Of course, it's always a plus to see the NDP putting some work into challenging the Senate. But I do wonder about the subject matter chosen.

After all, there are two obvious lines of attack on how the Cons have handled the Senate. And it seems slightly off the NDP's ideal message to focus on personal scandal (the Canada Elections Act charges against Irving Gerstein) rather than anti-democratic abuses (in the form of Harper's unelected nonrepresentatives defeating multiple NDP bills passed by the House of Commons).
