Conservative Party Deletes Video Featuring Russian Jets
News summary

The Conservative Party of Canada has deleted a promotional video after it was revealed to feature Russian fighter jets instead of Canadian ones. The video, shared on social media, included a speech by leader Pierre Poilievre where he discussed training missions to defend Canada, but the footage displayed Russian Su-17 and Su-27 jets. Defence Minister Bill Blair's office criticized the party, highlighting the inappropriate imagery amid ongoing tensions with Russia. The Liberal Party seized on the opportunity to accuse the Conservatives of being soft on Russia, with calls for Poilievre to denounce the use of misleading content. Following backlash from social media users and other political parties, the Conservatives acknowledged the mistake and removed the video, while pointing out past Liberal controversies involving stock imagery.
