Yes, Dave, and his name is Stephen Harper.
He hired the people who came up with this ad. This is the way the party will continue to be run under his leadership.
This is why he shouldn't be leader.

Hold on! It's a great spot and it makes the point. (Let's leave aside the fact that offshore arrangements like this are good for everyone.) Stop playing to the instantly-wounded lobby. If it's OK for Jamaicans and others to play up the calypso and accent for their tourism campaign, then why can't others?

I don't think it's necessarily a two-way street. Certainly Black people can go around calling each other "Nigger" but I'd like to see a white guy try it. Reminds me of the opening scene to Die Hard 3. Point is, I think it's up to holders of said accent to decide who does what with it.

Anyone know where I could find the ad on the web? I'd like to hear the ad down here in Texas without having to sit next to a computer and listen to streaming audio all day.
