Screengrab/Conservative Party of Canada Screengrab of a new Conservative party attack ad released Tuesday.

OTTAWA — Conservatives are unleashing a fresh blitz of pre-election attack ads over the next three weeks, including one that draws parallels between the prime minister and U.S. President Donald Trump. The 30-second ad opens with a close-up on Trump's face. Its style mimics broadcast news with CNN-inspired graphics with the caption: "Administration rocked by scandal." A news ticker below alludes to the SNC-Lavalin affair with mention of how "fallout continues over firing of attorney general," claiming Jody Wilson-Raybould was fired. Wilson-Raybould resigned from cabinet in February weeks after she was shuffled from justice to veterans affairs. Gerald Butts' resignation is also evoked with "principal secretary forced to resign" scrolling across the screen. Trudeau's face enters the frame as the shot zooms out. Watch the ad below:

They're part of a "multi-million dollar" ad buy, Conservative spokesman Cory Hann told HuffPost Canada. They focus on Trudeau's abandoned pledge to balance the budget in 2019 and criticize the federal carbon pricing system as an example of how taxes and the cost of living going up under the Liberal government. It's a claim that runs contrary to findings by Canada's budget watchdog. An analysis tabled last week concluded that most Canadians will get more money from the climate change rebate than they're set to pay in the carbon tax. Hann said the campaign is meant to show voters that Trudeau "promised a new way of doing things and presented himself as a new kind of politician," but failed to live up to those goals. The Trump ad is one of five spots that will be aired on broadcast television and in online campaigns. Four are 30-second English-language ads, and one is in French.
