This may become the election campaign defined not by the thrust and parry of debate but by a tagline for a television advertisement.Forget the bland slogans of the parties: ''Choose your Canada'' or ''Stand up for Canada.''

That line came near the end of a spot that sought to alarm voters about Conservative Leader Stephen Harper's real intentions in pledging to establish military garrisons in major Canadian cities.
