This ad is strategically poor. It's like the French building the Maginot line before WWII. It's essentially fighting the last two elections over again. The ballot box question both those times was about how long in the tooth the PC party rule had gotten and shouldn't they be replaced. Hence Redford's ads in 2012 claiming "this is not your father's PC party." That party was turfed last election in favor of the NDP and now doesn't exist. Now 4 years have passed, now what? That's where they have to fill in the blanks with something that inspires people to vote for them, not rehash old battles. When I first saw the ad within the first few seconds before he mentioned Jason Kenney I thought someone had made a mistake and accidentally brought an ad used in 2015 out of retirement.
