Conservative party pulls attack ad of black man walking over Trudeau tweet
OTTAWA — The Conservative party pulled an attack ad from its Twitter feed Tuesday that depicted a black man carrying a suitcase walking over a tweet from Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.
The tweet is rolled out as a carpet entering a broken fence and the words “faith” and “diversity” are visible.
The Tories have argued that a Trudeau tweet from January 2017 is partly to blame for the influx of asylum seekers crossing into Canada from the United States.
Conservative party spokesman Cory Hann says the ad was axed because the situation at the border is not about any one group of people.
