If you're not concerned about pictures not quite matching the story, are you OK with VAC & VAC management for this video, then? After all, it's just losing one's shit over where some pictures came from for an ad, right?It's both telling and humorous that people are losing their shit over the origin of some pictures used in an ad ...

And you'd consider it picking fly shit out of pepper if a Team Red campaign video included shots of Russian fighters being referred to as Canadian jet fighters? See VAC video fracas above ....... Anymore fly shit to pick out of pepper? ...
1000% - and I say, watch and shoot unless Team Blue comes out with a clear, unambiguous "we did not make or endorse this video - it was deep faked" statement.... If any of this was a serious issue, believe me, the CBC and Toronto Star (and some others) would totally run with it ...
This bump in the road may or may not tell me about what he'll be like as PM if he wins, but it sure tells me a bit about the internal processes that led to the research and production of this video.... and what their priorities for a leader are.
I haven't seen/heard Team Blue say it's a fake or made up, so unless that happens (and I'll be happy to withdraw my concerns if it was faked), I'll take it that someone dropped a research ball inside the party info-sausage making machine. That makes it, at least, an indirect indicator of how the team is managed/led. Not huge, but not zero and drawing the eye.
You know, assessing the leader based on their team -- sorta like people pointing to, say, Chiefs of Staff or politicians' political team members as indicators of their boss's abilities or lack thereof. Not that that ever happens in the political threads to all sorts of political leaders, am I right?
