The Conservative Party of Canada has deleted a video that was meant to promote its Canadian values but featured images of what the Defence Minister’s office says are Russian fighter jets.
The party acknowledged on Monday that mistakes happen, while also pointing out that the Liberals have dealt with a stock image backlash in the past.
The video in question was posted by the party on X on Saturday with the slogan “Canada. Our Home” and featured a speech delivered by leader Pierre Poilievre from the Calgary Stampede.
In the video, Poilievre describes a Canadian man driving on a highway on his way to work after dropping off his kid at school, and spots a brand new fighter jet in the sky.

The comment from the utube poster is priceless.
He reminds me of McMurray from LetterKenny
Poilievre’s a piece of shit.
God, I just puked. Talk about rose coloured glasses
That should be the most insulting to anyone they’re targetting with that speech. How do none of them see how disgustingly dishonest and pandering that drivel is? And then he just has to toss in weird culture war shit about censorship that doesn’t happen? And what the fuck have Conservatives ever done to even treat people with drug addictions like people let alone actually help them?
But to my first point again: If a member of the target audience can’t see that for the pandering nonsense it is then they’re so far beyond it I genuinely do not know how sense could ever reach them. It’s gross.
umm, see “Trump”.
I didn’t say there weren’t more, and worse, examples. All I was saying was that it was obvious and disgusting and that the people who fall for it are dumb as hell.
Jesus, lol.
What in the fuck.
This is so weird…
