The trippiest campaign ad I've ever seen: "Ed's Back!"
A spot for NDP candidate and former leader Ed Broadbent. Originally shot for a CBC political satire series, but didn't air because producers thought it "lacked balance." I guess not: Ed's now using it as a campaign ad.

1. It's genius. Sheer bloody genius.
There are very few people who could have pulled it off.

2. I wonder if...
after the election, if the NDP perform poorly, will they do a Quentin Tarrantino satire for "Ed's Dead?" (Zed's Dead - from Pulp Fiction)

Sorry. I just watched the video again. Couldn't resist it.
