Tory flyers targeting Jewish votes raise hackles

[CHIMO]

A new page in Conservative narrow-casting has the Liberals crying foul.

Using the free-mail privileges of MPs, the Conservatives are sending out flyers to ridings with large Jewish communities, arguing they are committed to Canada’s Jewish Community and the Liberals are not.

The leaflets argue the Conservatives have done more to fight anti-Semitism abroad, fight terrorism and support Israel than the Liberals. It asks recipients, “Who is on the right track to represent and defend the values of Canada’s Jewish Community,” and to choose the answer from the names of the four major-party leaders.

So far, according to Liberals, they have been spotted in mailboxes in four opposition-held ridings, all of which have large Jewish populations: Montreal’s Outremont and Pierrefonds-Dollard ridings, and Toronto’s Eglinton-Lawrence, and Winnipeg South Centre. In political parlance, that’s called narrow-casting: aiming a message at one community or demographic, rather than the population art large.

Well let's see some of our liberal leaders, and leaders for many decades, comment on this!

1. Wait, we have liberal leaders now?

Who are these strange, possibly mythical people?

Also, it's telling that the paper had to delete the entire comment thread - and the G&M usually has large threads - because of what was being said. Yow.

2. Coincidentally enough

This ties right in with the article I posted
