In June, Manitobans received a controversial mass text message from a group called the Canada Growth Council regarding the upcoming provincial election. The text was a pro-Tory attack ad using inflammatory rhetoric.

Screenshots of text messages sent to Manitobans. The text message begins with an image of an attack ad flyer about the Manitoba NDP. The text message says, "Hey it's Jen from the Canada Growth Council. Did you get this in the mail? It's a reminder for everyone who loves Manitoba to avoid electing Wab Kinew (a convicted criminal) and the NDP this fall. Wab Kinew and the NDP are an alliance with Justin Trudeau and Jagmeet Singh. And we can't afford 4 years of their work policies that will lead to more crime, higher taxes and the NDP driving our economy into the ground... just like last time! We can't trust Wab, Justin and Jagmeet to run our province. Spread the word! Authorized by the Canada Growth Council Inc. 1-800-883-1810."
