I still have print copies of their magazines from 15+ years ago packed away somewhere, (couldn't just toss 'em out when I moved), and I loved their initial involvement with Occupy. Any long time fan of the magazine knows how adept they are at being both slick and subversive, so I can't help but wonder,

-oh wait one second, ..let me firmly bolt on my tinfoil hat....

After watching the ad quickly once, I saw Pierre Trudeau, and I noticed an 'Angry', 'Bearded', 'French-citizen' spit on the Canadian flag.

Is there more to this ad than simply being anti-Harper?

....takes tinfoil hat off.
