Conservatives criticized from within their own ranks over political ad featuring ‘Willy Wonka’ spoof of Trudeau

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.
