The New Democrats included stock images from Russia and Israel in a recent high-profile video, weeks after the party criticized the Conservatives for using non-Canadian images in their content.

NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh announced in a video message Wednesday he was ending a supply and confidence deal with the Liberal government, while accusing Conservative policies of hurting Canadians, including retirees and families.

The video then flashes to a stock video of two seniors sitting at a table looking at their laptop.

The Canadian Press independently verified from several stock image sites, including Getty Images, that the video originated from Russia.

The two seniors are also featured in photographs on a website for a Russian university, which says they are faculty members there.

91裸聊视频淲e obtained the image from a North American stock image service,91裸聊视频� the New Democrats said in a statement about the Russian content.

91裸聊视频淣owhere did the service mention where the video was taken. We91裸聊视频檒l take better care in the future.91裸聊视频�

The video also featured a family sitting down for breakfast, an image the Shutterstock website says came from a production company based in Israel.

In Montreal on Friday, Singh said he recorded the video 91裸聊视频渁lmost two weeks ago91裸聊视频� but didn91裸聊视频檛 give an exact date.

He said he raised the stock image issue with his team 91裸聊视频渢o make sure it doesn91裸聊视频檛 happen again.91裸聊视频�

The New Democrats didn91裸聊视频檛 respond to a request for comment regarding the content originating in Israel, nor did they answer questions regarding the production of their video.

The NDP video, which had over three million views on X alone, remained up on all social media platforms.

Last month the New Democrats denounced the Conservative Party of Canada after it used non-Canadian stock images in one of its videos, including Russian fighter jets.

The Conservative party deleted the video after online criticism, saying 91裸聊视频渕istakes happen91裸聊视频� while pointing out that a Liberal ad from 2011 was scrutinized over its use of stock images.

At the time, New Democrat MP Charlie Angus, the party91裸聊视频檚 deputy critic for ethics, criticized the use of non-Canadian images in political messaging.

91裸聊视频淚 love Canada. I want the next election to be run in Canada, for Canada,91裸聊视频� Angus said in a statement Aug. 19.

New Democrats went on to condemn the use of 91裸聊视频減honey, fake, bogus91裸聊视频� digital content.

In a statement, Government House leader Karina Gould said: 91裸聊视频淚 find it very strange that two major Canadian political parties 91裸聊视频� the NDP and the CPC 91裸聊视频� are not taking more care in their communications to Canadians about Canadians.91裸聊视频�

She said both parties will have to explain why 91裸聊视频渘either could be bothered to use images of actual Canadians.91裸聊视频�

While the NDP and Conservatives are 91裸聊视频渇ocused on promoting their own political interests,91裸聊视频� she said, the Liberal government is 91裸聊视频渟quarely focused on delivering important measures and programs for Canadians that meet their needs.91裸聊视频�
