“Willy Wonka“-themed Conservative ad featuring Trudeau comes under fire from some party members

The Conservatives have not yet unveiled their full election ad campaign, but have already drawn fire from within their own ranks for a clip released on Friday. The ad, which depicts Trudeau’s face pasted on top of an image of a bratty character from classic children’s film “Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory,“ was roundly condemned by sitting Conservative MPs as juvenile and ill-suited to a high-stakes event such as a federal election. “Asking to be the Governing Party of Canada is serious business, requiring serious people making good, reasonable and mature decisions,“ Alberta Tory MP Blaine Calkins wrote in a tweet. “I trust the decision maker who decided to post this tasteless and appalling video will be brought up to speed.“ The party did not immediately respond to request for comment on the ad.
