Ground war is an understatement.

Here in Richmond a group calling itself  Better Richmond Concern group has been taking out ads in the local papers.

These are attack ads against a Richmond councillor who is running for the NDP. The ads start off "Today you have joined the NDP as a candidate"...

The ads then list the things that they believe the  NDP (and only the NDP?) supports:

Drug Injection sites, Unisex washrooms, sex education, and gay marriage.

The group ran another ad two says later and accused the NDP of moral decay and asserted that moral decay would be brought to Richmond.

This is not good.
