The new NDP commercial suggests that Stephen Harper has been more concerned with financing 'Boardroom Tables' rather than 'Kitchen Tables", meaning that he is more interested in the "Corporate Canada" than the Canada where people need employment and to feed their families.

Should the government be more interested in its citizens than companies, or does helping the corporations in turn help the citizens? While it is undoubtedly an effective stance, is juxtaposing themselves against the Conservatives the best strategy for the NDP?
