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.
