Morning in America? New US political ad may feature Canadian city

In a surprising move of futurism, Marco Rubio has seemingly followed this damning summation with a new campaign ad calling for global unity and the end of nationalism by boldly featuring a breathtaking shot of Vancouver, Canada in the clip’s opening moments.

After a couple of seconds, you hear the narrator say, “It’s morning again in America”, but if you look closer you can tell that the video is not from America.

That said, identifying markers such as the Vancouver Harbour Centre Lookout Tower, Canada Place, and what seems to be a Canadian flag flying on one of the boats heavily imply that Rubio’s crew goofed.

The Rubio campaign gave a tip of the hat to Buzzfeed for catching the Vancouver shot.

Rubio’s campaign has not yet commented on the discrepancy. He works as a freelancer and posts his material on stock photo and video sites. A spokesperson told the outlet, “We’re not going to make Canada an issue in this election”.

Texas Gov. Ted C ruz, who touts his religious right ties, had to pull a spot when it was revealed one of the actress was a soft core porn TV star.

Neither Cruz’s Canadian connection nor Trump’s preoccupation with it has hurt them in the polls so far. Trudeau is a liberal scion to boot: his late father, former Prime Minister Pierre Elliott Trudeau, decriminalized homosexuality, legalized abortion and vehemently defended universal health care.
