Further to my post here you can read the John Ivison column that generated the spot on the Charles Adler show here.
There's an old political proverb in Ottawa that observes: When one or two of the Prime Minister's debate preparation team are gathered together, an election shall surely follow in short order.
And so it was that Line Maheux, Mike Harris's former communications director, and Michael Coates, the president of Hill and Knowlton Canada, were breaking bread yesterday in an Ottawa steakhouse.
Coincidence? Perhaps. But the capital is on red election alert, after a period of relative calm. Sources suggest the Conservatives will have all their candidates in place before the federal budget next month and yesterday the party released a new batch of French-language attack ads.
