Even if this is correct as far as I can tell, it still is a political ad and should be marked as such.

Gee a politician making a video is a political ad?

So is Dougie pouring out bottles of Crown Royal.

Good for you if you immediately recognize her as a politician.

Not everyone will. For those who don't, it's only revealed towards the end of the video. In fact, earlier in the video a statement is made that almost makes it sounds like she's a journalist:

Is marking something as a political advertisement a requirement and what’s the best way to do that? And just for the original post? Still learning the conventions.
