OTTAWA — The New Democrats used a stock image from Russia in a recent video, weeks after the party criticized the Conservatives for doing the same.
On Wednesday NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh announced in a video message that he was ending the supply and confidence deal with the Liberal government, while accusing Conservative policies of hurting Canadians, including retirees.The Canadian Press independently verified from several stock images sites, including Getty Images, that the video originated from Russia.
"We obtained the image from a North American stock image service," New Democrats said in a statement,The NDP video remains up on all their social platforms. The Conservative party deleted the video after online criticism, saying"mistakes happen" while pointing out that a Liberal ad from 2011 was scrutinized over its use of stock images.
"I love Canada. I want the next election to be run in Canada, for Canada," Angus said in a statement on Aug. 19."I find it very strange that two major Canadian political parties - the NDP and the CPC - are not taking more care in their communications to Canadians about Canadians," said Government House leader Karina Gould in a statement.
