How fast will the Conservatives move against Justin Trudeau?

The attack ads are apparently coming
By Aaron Wherry

The remaining commercial time not yet filled by Economic Action Plan ads will apparently soon be occupied by Conservative attacks on Justin Trudeau.

If the Conservatives move “almost immediately” after Mr. Trudeau is officially chosen leader of the Liberal party, it might set a new speed record in this regard. They waited 57 days to similarly attack Stephane Dion and 10 days to attack Michael Ignatieff. The Conservatives then waited 93 days before launching an attack ad against Thomas Mulcair.
