In the ad, Real Change by the Liberal party, it begins with patriotic colors of red and white with momentous music and asks, “what does real leadership mean?” and answers itself on how Justin Trudeau can lead change. Throughout the ad it supports itself by presenting guest speakers from different cultural backgrounds, jobs, males and females speaking Canada’s official languages: French and English. They state the economy is going downhill with the current government, Stephan Harper and Tom Mulcair (NDP), who provides “no real ideas”. Therefore, with the special guests, Justin Trudeau uses to support himself to send an overall message that he can lead change for all Canadians by reducing taxes for the middle class and taxing more of the rich, for a stronger middle class. Since the recent phenomenon of political ads, political parties such as the Liberal party try and cater to prospective and loyal voters by attempting to create a connection with Canadians by featuring Canadian political culture and democracy with consideration of the aimed audience in …show more content…
Through the portrayal of the variety of guest speakers including visible minorities, Canada’s official languages, aboriginal, young and old people, women and men, it emphasizes multiculturalism and inclusiveness, as it does not exclude minorities. In addition, this ad puts a lot of attention of pride of being Canadian through the patriotic colors of red and white, as well as through the optimism of being able to create change as a united community of Canadians rather than independently. All in all, through political ads as a whole it aims to increase participation for Canadians to vote for the party rather then the opposition, therefore revealing some transparency, there is a variety to vote

    In a time full of political controversy with Donald Trump’s radical views on immigration, the rejected 84 Lumber Super Bowl commercial for 2017 crashed the company’s website due to its controversial portrayal of immigrants. With Donald Trump describing immigrants as rapists and drug dealers, always sending their worst, his relationship with the immigrant community was on thin ice. Trump’s views divided a nation. On one hand, we had the die hard conservatives cheering on Trump’s outrageous ideas, while on the other hand, we had liberals and democrats infuriated with the idea of a bigger wall. It was not a fix to the political issue of illegal immigration, but rather a bandaid.…

    Ontario Liberals have a long tradition of working to improve the lives of all Ontarians. Today we continue on in the best tradition of the early party – whether it be making post-secondary education more affordable, and more in reach, giving families more money to help with the high cost of raising their kids, or investing in sustainable infrastructure, which makes our communities safer and more resilient, even helping to make Ontario a North American leader in clean technology – attracting more, higher paying jobs for Ontario families. It is important that the people who live here, and that will be mostly affected by who is chosen to become prime minister has their fair share of needs met, and their opinions voiced. With the cost of post-secondary…

    Election night, 1984, brought to an end the era of Liberal domination in the House of Commons, “nearly sixteen consecutive years” (Stevie Cameron 2005, pg. 15). Brian Mulroney, leader of the progressive conservatives, since 1983, (Cameron, pg. 16) swept through the nation obtaining “50 percent of the popular vote” (Professor Lewis). This historic victory was the culmination of a nation’s exhaustion and discontentment with the then current Liberal government (Cameron, pg. 14). The Mulroney administration entered government the same way it exited historically as a direct result of the plutocratic form of governance prevalent during the Mulroney’s administration. Here was a government which had claimed it would clean up Canadian politics (Cameron, pg. 17) when in fact it concerned itself instead with acquiring money by any means possible.…

    By examining the rhetorical features used in an advertisement, it is possible to determine how an advertisement is meant to appeal to its audience, which allows for the determination of the advertisement’s underlying message. While various strategies can be used in an attempt to appeal to an audience, Jack Solomon makes the claim in his short essay “Masters of Desire” that advertisements often attempt to sell products or ideas by appealing to individuals’ sense of community through populist marketing strategies, playing on the human desire to belong and be a part of a larger community. In her 2016 campaign launch video, “Getting Started,” Hillary Clinton attempts to convince the video’s audience that she is the candidate best suited to be…

    In Donald Trump’s political ad Two worlds:Immigration, he uses the fear of terrorism, unchecked immigration, and national insecurity to scare the nation’s Conservative Republicans into voting for him. Trump’s fear mongering starts the ad off with depressing piano music and a candid side view photograph of Hillary Clinton cast in shadows looking downward.

This photograph has been altered to look dark and sinister like a thunder storm, leaving the background blurred and so dark that only one thing can be seen, the silhouette of the capitol building - also cast in shadows. The building looks gloomy and uninviting.…
