I was referring specifically to the attack ads Harper ran against the Liberal leaders, not government advertising in general, when I talked about the tactics the Polish governing party is copying.
And it's worth noting that the Harper government did the exact same thing in regards to partisan spending by playing up its own policies and achievements-they were the ones that started ending federal ads with the "O Canada" tune, which the Trudeau government's continued. So pretty much every part that forms government is guilty of this. And Conservative MPs like Tony Clement never met an infrastructure program they didn't try to make a photo-op out of, while Peter MacKay treated federal search and rescue planes like a damn taxi service.
Finally, regarding the apostrophe after "Pierre Trudeau", I meant to say that my grad thesis compared Dion's views on Canadian federalism to Trudeau's views on federalism. I'll edit this to make it clearer.
