McFadyen’s new TV ad

This landed in my inbox not that long ago:

In appreciation for your ongoing support, I'm writing to give you the very first look at our new TV ad, which starts airing Monday across the province. Please take a moment to watch the ad by following this link (see below for video).

Because supporters like you are truly the backbone of our party, I'm pleased to give you the exclusive first look at our campaign -- before the media, and before the public.

This factual, positive ad hits back at the desperate campaign of lies Greg Selinger has aired over the spring and summer.

We're setting the record straight and telling Manitobans that, contrary to Greg Selinger's lies, we will clean up Lake Winnipeg, hire more nurses and never sell Manitoba Hydro. In the weeks ahead, we will also be setting out other aspects of our positive plan for Manitoba.

I’d like to thank you again for your ongoing support. I hope you enjoy the ad.

Sincerely,

Hugh McFadyen

Leader of the Progressive Conservative Party of Manitoba
