The Ontario PC Party is leaving no stone unturned in their efforts to discredit Bonnie Crombie, Ontario’s new Liberal leader. With a barrage of attack ads dominating the airwaves, the party is determined to paint Crombie as a tax and spend politician with close ties to Justin Trudeau.
The ads, which have been running on CTV’s NFL Sunday broadcast, are just the beginning of what is expected to be a sustained campaign against Crombie. The PCs are not taking any chances, learning from the mistakes of the federal Liberals who failed to define Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre early on.
Kory Teneycke, a key figure in Doug Ford’s successful campaigns, is leading the charge to ensure Crombie does not have the opportunity to set her own agenda. Radio and TV ads have already started, with a major push planned for January.
The ads highlight Crombie’s relationship with Trudeau, her support for the carbon tax, and her record of raising property taxes as mayor of Mississauga. The message is clear – voters cannot afford to have Crombie in charge.
As Crombie scrambles to raise funds for her campaign, the Ontario Liberals may need to step up their game to counter the negative narrative being pushed by the PCs. With the election looming, the battle for Ontario’s top spot is heating up, and the airwaves are set to be dominated by attack ads and political rhetoric.
