Subject: Conservatives take flak over Heritage Minutes parody ad video
Historica Canada says they often welcome spoofs, but not for partisan purposes
Elise von Scheel
CBC News
Feb 03, 2019
The federal Conservative party temporarily deleted a political attack ad parodying the Heritage Minutes, after receiving a request from the organization that produces the historical TV segments, before re-posting the video with a disclaimer.
The video, entitled Liberal Scandals: Part of Our Heritage, was posted to leader Andrew Scheer's Twitter and Facebook accounts Saturday night.
By the next morning, Historica Canada the non-partisan organization that makes the videos released a statement calling for the removal of the video.
"While we often welcome parodies of the Minutes, we do not approve of them being used for partisan political purposes," it reads.
The video was deleted in the afternoon, before being re-posted with a disclaimer.
Anthony Wilson-Smith, the president and CEO of Historica, told CBC News he was advised of the video by his staff Sunday morning. Even with the newly added disclaimer, Wilson-Smith said the Conservative ad runs "counter to the spirit" of the heritage commercials.
The Conservative spoof used similar styles of narration, graphics and historical photos to those in the official Heritage Minutes spots, but the Tory segment lashes out at Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and his cabinet for various ethical and conflict-of-interest breaches.
It details the prime minister's breach of ethics laws for his vacation to the Aga Khan's private island, the violation of conflict of interest rules by then-fisheries minister Dominic LeBlanc when he awarded a lucrative Arctic surf clam licence to a company linked to his wife's cousin, and Finance Minister Bill Morneau stalling to disclose a private corporation that owns a villa in southern France that he shares with his wife.
It also criticized Minister Jane Philpott for using the luxury driving services of a political supporter. The ethics commissioner cleared her of any wrongdoing in the spending controversy.

Are we witnessing opening of the CPC 2015 election campaign v 2.0? Underestimating the intelligence of your support and potential support is not an auspicious opening.
It is irrelevant what Scheer and the CPC think of Trudeau and the Liberals and vice versa. We are tired of the comedy routine. Social media and e-mails have been filled with partisan videos, cartoons and less than polite political commentary for the past two years. Attack ads are passe and boring.
Tell us how the CPC is going to govern differently. Lead like you're serious or get the hell out of the road and watch the PPC roll over you. We can wind up with a minority government and the PPC holding the balance of power. We can also wind up with the CPC holding the balance of power.
Political parties are all buried to their eyeballs in populism and statism. We have not seen fresh ideas or approaches for decades. All decisions are politically risk adverse. Do not, in any circumstance, make any decision that may cost you votes. That is the polar opposite of representative governance.
Governments cannot control the economy except in socialist dictatorships. In a democratic, free market nation, we are at the mercy of international trade in goods, services and finances. We need to protect ourselves from corporation that have grown larger than many nations and from internal cartel that corner a niche market and overcharge the public for the services and goods they control.
Canada has an extensive and enviable social services network, but it is highly fragmented, inefficient and overly costly. We have created a social services industry the delivers services badly. Failings of our social services network, and there are many, are supplemented by charities. If the social services industry actually worked, we would not need homeless shelters, soup kitchens, food banks and other services charities provide. We are failing our most vulnerable.
We are tired of governments that can't or won't. We don't care why. We are promised prosperity but as the decades roll by all we have to show for it is increased debt. Someone has the bite the bullet and govern ethically, honestly, prudently and responsibly. We need seasoned adults at the helm who are dedicated to serving the best interests of the constituents they represent. Nothing less will do.
