AI-generated content is becoming a notable factor in Ontario's political landscape.Alex Hout, an Ottawa-born creator now living in Switzerland, used AI tools to produce a satirical video called The Gravy Plane, lampooning Premier Doug Ford's $29-million private jet purchase.

The video, which features LEGO versions of political figures and hidden Easter eggs, has gained hundreds of thousands of views across multiple social media platforms.Hout emphasizes that the work was independently produced, without political party involvement, spending a few hundred dollars on AI subscriptions.

Experts like University of Toronto professor Ebrahim Bagheri highlight that AI can democratize political commentary, allowing individuals to create complex media projects previously requiring teams.

However, deepfakes pose risks to authenticity and public trust, as illustrated by a video depicting Toronto Mayor Olivia Chow making false statements during a weekend of major city events.Media monitoring experts and politicians stress the importance of education, disclosure, and verification to mitigate potential misuse.

Meanwhile, Ontario Liberals proposed legislation to combat malicious AI-generated content ahead of elections, but it was rejected by Progressive Conservatives.AI in political media appears here to stay, reshaping both engagement and scrutiny in Canadian democracy.
