A new ad from the BC NDP warns us — tongue-in-cheek — about “the evil genius Adrian Dix” and all the things he and the BC NDP perpetrated on us in the 1990s. Love to know what you think of this ad.

Excellent and refreshing .. human.
As a producer/director/writer I think they (NDP) can follow on and do even better.. but a great start.. and it is April 1, non ?
Preempts Clark & the faux Liberal faction.. even reaches out as a slap at the Harper faux Conservatives and their dull pedantic posturing and whining. A nice win for the NDP
This ad makes little sense in terms of a political message. it is actually foolish and laughable and the average person will get nothing out of it. If it is the aim of the NDP to get voters to support them it does not come through this ad one iota. A total waste much like the NDP themselves. This ad is best described as a joke. it is fitting for April 1st.
Rick Romain misses the whole point. This ad is a clever response to regular and past BC Liberal ads trying to make the claim that Adrian Dix was personally responsible for the so-called “dirty 90’s” of the past NDP government.
All political pundits in Vancouver have commented on this very clever and pointed ad- it is a farce- a farce reminder of the inadequacies of the outgoing Liberal government.
It would seem that such things are much too thought-provoking for people like Rick Romain. It is no wonder that he dislikes the NDP.
This is trying to be a joke ; the biggest joke is how the NDP ran Saskatchewan into the ground for 16 years and now are doing the same thing to Manitoba
Its a joke of an ad, and the real joke will be on BC resisdents if they are stupid enough to vote back into power, the party that caused them much pain in the 1990s. BC had to do a lot of hard work and suffering to undo the damage caused by Glen Clark. To go back to the NDP smacks of Stockholm syndrom like no other.
Loved it! Made my morning.
What makes little sense, Rick, is your response to this post.
In actual fact, the sense of the April 1st NDP message is quite clear. But just to be sure you do eventually get it, I believe the underlying message is this:
Attack ads which are mean and nasty, and which rely solely on events over a decade old are simply inane.
Indeed the BC NDP party is making it perfectly clear (and has been doing so throughout this campaign) that BC Liberal ads are in general ridiculous and unproductive if they lack any direct substance relating to today’s issues in BC.
Seems clear to me … only positive dialogue with the public … dialogue which contains substantive information and productive ideas …. should be used to sway voters’ opinions.
But it appears that this is lost on you. Now I wonder why that might be the case. Although I only wonder a tiny bit, because your motivations are actually pretty obvious
Most people will really get the point of this April 1st spoof. It’s brilliant and it’s enjoyable … at least to anyone who is not obsessively anti-NDP.
