OTTAWA – The Liberals have had plenty of things to say about their dental care plan, but government advertising rules they imposed in 2016 have ruled they can’t call it “accessible, affordable, or essential.”

On Friday, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau <a data-evt-val="{&quot;control_fields&quot;: {&quot;mparticle&quot;: {&quot;keys&quot;: {&quot;click_source_type&quot;: &quot;click_source_type&quot;, &quot;anchor_text&quot;: &quot;anchor_text&quot;, &quot;target_url&quot;: &quot;target_url&quot;, &quot;layout_section&quot;: &quot;layout_section&quot;}, &quot;mp_event_type&quot;: &quot;Navigation&quot;, &quot;extra_keys&quot;: [&quot;click_vertical_position_percentage&quot;, &quot;click_vertical_position_pixels&quot;]}}, &quot;click_source_type&quot;: &quot;in-page link&quot;, &quot;anchor_text&quot;: &quot;tweeted an advertisement&quot;, &quot;target_url&quot;: &quot;https://twitter.com/JustinTrudeau/status/1819399592284459252&quot;, &quot;layout_section&quot;: &quot;in-page-link&quot;}" data-evt="click" data-evt-typ="click" href="https://twitter.com/JustinTrudeau/status/1819399592284459252">tweeted an advertisement</a>, featuring an elderly man getting only modest relief from a frozen bag of peas on his face, while his daughter tells him to go to the dentist.
