Good perspectives, Crowhugger.

Though some fall for 'em, IMO, attack ads, that focuses on slick personal innuendo rather than actual perspectives on issues, are an insult to the voters intelligence. And, they have been going on for a few years, even when there was no election call. Does anyone expect that approach to promote cooperation? Eliz. May deserves praise for her anti-attack ad messages.

More gets done through cooperation,versus a conquer, divide and dominiate approach. IMO, some of Canada's best social programs were initiated when Trudeau and Douglas cooperated to make a minority government work.
