Canada’s federal Conservative Party has removed a promotional video that was released over the weekend showing its leader speaking patriotically while Russian fighter jets fly in the sky, according to CNN affiliate CBC.
The video purports to show classic down-home Canadian scenes and landscapes but has been widely criticized online for including footage from other countries. “The video was removed — mistakes happen,” Sarah Fischer, director of communications for the Conservative Party of Canada said Monday, according to CBC.
“Poilievre’s fake Canada protected by Russian jets, for Serbian families with a Venezuelan sunset is drawing international attention,” Angus wrote on X. Poilievre also narrates the story of a father dropping off his child at school and then driving along, hearing the sounds of hammers using Canadian wood to build, seeing farmers working in the field, and looking up at the sky to see fighter jets.
