National Capital Digest: And now a word from our sponsors

The political rhetoric out of Ottawa is bound to heat up now that the Conservatives have brought to the airwaves that take on the leaders of the other parties.

The ads, which have the tone of an election campaign to them, are as the Conservatives put it "drawing attention to the intention of Liberal leader Michael Ignatieff to force an election", not to be left out of the on air barbs is NDP leader Jack Layton, who the Conservatives suggest is "desperate for power".

The National Post reviews the ads and the background behind them, as well as a link for those that wish to review them for themselves.

Paul Wells at Macleans and Jane Taber at the Globe and Mail also provide a window into the world of the attack ad.

We imagine that television advertising firms and network ad salesman are giving them two thumbs up, that is when they aren't busy counting the cash that is surely to stream in from a full scale ad war between the three parties.
