Line 30:
** There are also Stephen Harper's Conservative attack ads, which were attacks first on Stephane Dion, then Michael Ignatieff. Some involved quoting magazine interviews from years back in which Ignatieff says he's an intellectual. Then, it cuts to Mr. Harper in his Blue Sweatervest of Family Values.
* In the 1993 Canadian federal election, the Progressive Conservatives ran an ad that (at least in popular perception) was a scare campaign targeted at the Liberal leader Jean Chrétien's facial disfigurement cause by his Bell's palsy. The Tories went from 169 seats to 2 in that election. The ad lost them ten percentage points in one day as Chretien leapt at the opportunity to give a speech about being a little guy who was [[Inspirationally Disadvantaged]].
* Parodied by the ''[[Rick Mercer Report]]'' during the 2006 Canadian election - [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-2E-r7MKNzU see here]. There's a second one that accuses Stephen Harper of giving live grenades to children.

* The 2011 federal election was a bit less alarmist on all sides, as the Conservatives and NDP realized that they could both gain at the expense of the Liberals and the Bloc (which they did). As a result, it's a fair statement that this election had ''two'' winners, without ''too'' much mudslinging.
