Premier Doug Ford's Ontario

3) Have you seen a Bonnie Crombie commercial for the Liberals? One for Marit Stiles and the NDP? So far, both parties are keeping a lid on spending, and both leaders have a comparatively low profile. While both parties have some probable platform items......just try naming three that you're sure about. I'd be surprised if you could. That's going to cause the Libs and Dippers to under perform in polls because there isn't a single thing they are associated with in terms of a big 'change' idea.

Note the quote in an above post: "When you toss in several years of taxpayer funded election campaign advertising exclusively for the OPC with restrictions on every other party, it would appear so."

Essentially, that's the DoFo modus operandi: deny the opposition any oxygen, or gaslight it away. And in today's reduced mediasphere and reduced attention spans, it's darned effective.
