I am not convinced -- yes, there is a fallen tree that looks similar to one behind the Leader in a video but, gosh, most forests have a lot of fallen trees.
But even so, I'm glad the Conservatives are spending their energy on the issue. It is one way to take up their energy on a harmless endeavour. What's more, it gives publicity to Canadian parks!!!

*puts on CSI hat* Okay, the angles of the two shots are slightly out which means backgrounds in 3D including foliage are somewhat unreliable. The most reliable (and obvious) anchor point for both shots is the leaning tree, so let's use that. First, we have to agree on a unit of measurement and I would suggest the length of one of Iggy's eybrows is usable.
You will note in both shots, there appears to be a broken branch protruding from the main trunk about one Iggy Brow (1 IB) in length. If you travel up the main trunk in the first shot, about 1 IB, you will see a dark area with a white "dot" on it. This corresponds to a dark area, same distance up, in the second shot.
If you travel down the main trunk from the broken branch in the second shot, say about 1.5-2.0 IB, you will see two lateral score marks perpendicular to the bark grain. They are each about 1/2 the thickness of the main trunk with the top one starting on the left side running toward the centre and the bottom one starting on the right side, also running towards the centre. The are separated by 1/2 IB (approximately). These score marks can be seen correlated to the two dark slashes in the first photo. A case could also be made for a fainter score mark just below the broken branch stub.
There you have it, your Honour. I recommend that bail be denied and we should all go out for mojitos and wings.
You wouldn't believe how small the advertising community is in Canada.
Everyone talks and Iggy's secret forest locale has been known to be Cherry Beach.
I looked at the two photos pretty closely.
You should have just let it go instead of facetiously saying "I'm not convinced".
Ignatieff has been outed. The scars on the slanted tree match. But more telling, the pattern of trees to the left and right of the path in the background is identical. The photo, though taken at a slightly different angle, is from the same location as the video.
