Conservatives ramp up ads against Liberal Leader Carney

The Conservative Party and a right-wing group are increasing digital ads against Liberal Leader Mark Carney, labeling him as "sneaky" and criticizing his stance on carbon taxes. This follows Carney's recent victory in the Liberal leadership race. The Conservatives have spent nearly $6.8 million on Facebook and Instagram ads since 2019, with significant spending in March. Polls show the Conservatives and Liberals are now tied in support, a shift from the Conservatives' earlier lead. Canada Proud, another conservative group, has also launched ads targeting Carney, spending an estimated $150,000 to $200,000. They plan to stop advertising once the election is officially called.
