Like last week and the week before, news of the latest campaign-style spot came via Sunday morning Facebook update. Speaking again from his secret leafy glen, the Liberal Leader discusses the need to create green jobs. "For nearly four years, Canadians have been told they need to choose between the economy and the environment," he says. "Well, we disagree."

The tone remains positive and the policy strokes broad. But with the House entering an off week and Mr. Ignatieff hinting at a tougher line of attack, perhaps the Liberals will shift gears next weekend. For now, they remain open to criticism for telling fairy tales of their own.
