I'm not sure if you noticed, but we're a week away from a provincial election.
There was a leader debate last night I missed completely. I opted to play tennis instead. It doesn't sound like I missed much.
The PC and NDP parties ran ads this morning on the covers of two free Toronto papers that really should be illegal during an active election period. These ads are clearly designed to fool readers and those passing by into thinking they're actual headlines. Their hope, it seems, is that you're too stupid to know the difference.
Here's the PC ad on the cover of Metro News (owned by Star Media Group).
Here's the NDP ad on the cover of 24 Hours (owned by Sun Media).
Shame on the parties and shame on the newspapers for selling their journalistic integrity for a few bucks.
